By Emily Chabra

should i call

for the wolves?

i am a village
in boy’s clothing

tender in night
watch for signs

of life under skin
i know nothing.

shelter me in
fur of a woman

escaping prick
of cold horizon

brief day
restore my

breath

Emily Chabra has recently obtained her first pair of Docs, and everyone needs to know about it. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her wife, their three cats, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom. You can find links to all of Emily’s work on insta (@emilychabrawrites).
