Raskin: ICE and CBP β€” these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

I need to
cover my head. my
mother serves me
my grandmother

I gobble it up, the
aorta-colored soup
burps in the bowl
a grotesque sheen
my thorough heart
harrumphing under the
floorboards

β€œwizard’s seolfor”

I am a slut for
hearts etched into my latte
and this curve of the
Fox River, my dad’s
mother’s mother calling my
great-ancestors home.
Snow falls dreamily.
Crack’d, the mirror, silver
water’s tarnished flow.
Rub and rub and rub;
polish polish polish my
your our argentum.

I, for one, am thrilled by the phrase β€œthermal burping.” I just get an image of a thermal vent shaped like Homer Simpson belching with those ruffled lips πŸ˜†
