woman unfolding
Jenna Mervis
These are poems of unfolding. A brain in limbo; a mother’s warnings, unheeded; the diving and swimming in life; fiancés who evolve into husbands; a child not yet conceived; poems birthed so that the reader follows the evolution of a word into something tangible, erect, alive.

woman unfolding
There are degrees of loss.
Mostly the loss of oneself in another: myself in you.
I catch myself
grasping
for the next skin.
