Text
The Storm Drain
by Kate Gale
Liquid canopy descending sky
It’s dark inside the storm drain but you took me here.
Tongue slow lips open hands lightly under.
When I’m eighty no one will crawl with me
in a storm drain to hold my breasts
while the sky is falling.
I lean into corrugated metal. Rust.
Age. Wet. My back into all that.
