Day, Meg 2019
I knew I was a god
when you could not
agree on my name
& still, none you spoke
could force me to listen
closer.
– Meg Day, “Portrait of My Gender as [Inaudible]”

Poem-a-Day: “Elegy in Translation” by Meg Day
No Description
In some other life, I can hear you
breathing: a pale sound like running
fingers through tangled hair. I dreamt
again of swimming in the quarry
& surfaced here when you called for me
in a voice only my sleeping self could
know. Now the dapple of the aspen
respires on the wall & the shades cut
its song a staff of light.
– Meg Day, “10 AM is When You Come to Me”
