Curve, by HEATHER McHUGH

Freezeburn forms whirlpools and bearfur has curve.
My line is gravity’s
sheer vertical.
Memory’s the same
seme. Sail a memo
down: There’s the spooled
real: plunge into simul-
cast. Caught up in the network is
a blue planet, sinner par
excellence.
It’s too small.
Throw it back.
