and spark. The heart of a shark is a gear.Listen and tell, thrums the grave heart of humans.Listen well love, for it’s pitch dark down here. (Hailey Leithauser)
Isn’t it? Leithauser is a poet from Baltimore I’ve recently discovered. She is quite musical and playful with words and their sounds. Her poems benefit from being read aloud.

Yep, that’s right. Since she was right outside the window it was possible to capture the red hourglass on her underside.
