Skeleton Reservoir Function

In Skeleton Reservoir Function, the body finds its jarring reflection in the skeletal frames of oil refineries and construction sites, exposed and tied to the restlessness of the modern world. Illnesses real and imagined, overstimulation, the deaths of family. These are poems that explore the body and what it holds against itsself, resulting in a restrained approach to language that underscores the unspoken and the need for intimacy between the silences.
