Book cover of "Letters to Borges" by Steve Kuusisto

Suppose I asked you to be my friend?

How would I do this as an honest man?

I have so many secret artifacts,

so many broken parts—

I’m a house that gleams on the outside

but its rooms have been cleaned quickly of spilled blood.

I’m carried in my shadow by another shadow.

I wave at you under the long thin streaks of clouds.
