| Ilias Tsagas |
Shreds of dawn between my temples freeing me from terror. We meet in the black market: him, me, that. Starting all over: hopes condensed in the moment wilderness night sky with exit wounds. Wounds and shadows meth pretty much one with my shit. The night doesn’t shun it creaks.

**night sky with exit wounds is the title of Ocean Vuong’s poetry collection published by Copper Canyon Press in 2016.
