OVALS
By: Katie Sachs

When a shape is a letter
And the words run cold
Getting caught
Between teeth
Beneath the elephant's snout

When you're out
I will give you 
A purple tongue for your money
A busty sun
Rises
And the morning breathes in
Unzipping the polyester pocket
Worn holey
In the track suit of doubt

I carefully care for you
Unsure of the place
Where my belief in you lies
But certain of shapes
That are home to a plate
