Alone on a Saturday Night by Robby Hecht

tango

i look at this picture
of

the pluteus larva
of a sea biscuit

and

it looks like
the
mechanical starfish arms   i

have
that are
pulled in so many
different directions

(my) fingers feel like
the radial tips
of

a star under water     all

splayed
in microscopic spasms,

positions in which
it feels

so alone
in the sea   and

to be swimming here
without you,

well,

it feels like ten thousand
arms

just dropped me
from

the sky
