Sleeping Under the Banyan Tree, by Marina Abramovic, 2010

Hard Truth Surrounded by Dark Chocolate is Better for the Throat

by Shannon P. Laws

Paper picks up marbled paint

skims the dream I left under

a tree overnight in the yard

Wet blades of grass are your hair and my head trying to connect

A wire through the two of us relays less than

a pair of cups and knotted string

Black braided rope hangs from the ear

If only you had said yes to dinner
