KRISTI MAXWELL





YEAR IN REVIEW


Felt oneself fluctuating between accidental
and invited guest. Enlarged a list of things
that do in fact change overnight. The bloom
of the mushroom but not the mole.
Certain friendships, the smell of a fridge.

Used the crab emoji after the Strawberry Moon
sat fully ripe in night's dense bramble. Found
the dark where I looked for it. Made it elsewhere
then shifted my tense in a bid to unmake.
I break into the snow of the snow

crab, pull the white from the coral pink. Read
about the disappearance of crabs from
the Bering Sea. Know guilt, know shame.
A nail breaks inside a Lysol wipe while wiping
an oven top. The growing back is slow.
