an apple leaves its roots; it is Eve renaming her fall– watching
over the argument that the purpose of my life is to write,
eat, drink, commit sin, sleep. & make babies?
Tares buries poetry in twists and heaps of more poetry. The lines are so tightly knit that one must religiously chew on the words, one after another, as they open you up to worlds of realities and emotions. The second and subsequent reads are just as thrilling as the first.
Frameshifts is a breathing body of poems. It has a past. It is alive. It speaks to you, and you can’t help but visualize these thoughts in pictures and heartbeats.
