The Unexplainable
Genaye Deal
Getting answers for the unexplainable:
the things that refuse to explain;
the things that fortify their secrets;
the things that lie about their existence;
the things that are creatures I don’t know.
My heart hungers for the union
of two humans:
one born out of myth,
the other born from water.
Their union will answer
those unexplainable nothings—
and everything.
Her romantic cells
are a malevolent force
that burn holes in her body:
her head,
her arms,
her tongue,
her breast,
her throat—
riddled with holes—
making her a creature I don’t know.
