An excerpt from two poems by Angela Narciso Torres (poetry ’09), published by Pank Magazine.
Self-Portrait as Revision
I am the storm-torn palm frond draped on the balcony wall.
I am the cumin in the soup stirring the lentil’s sleep.
I am the olive’s skeletal pit, the cat’s paw, the thistle spear.
The clay in the kiln cast into a small flask to hold centuries of musk.
