All of You Belts Out: Ashley Nussbaum, Ilana Lombardo

May 18, 2020 Kate Belew with Ashley Nussbaum, Ilana Lombardo

Look, there is very little that can't be fixed with disco 

bad leather fringed hair tossed

and tangled in lashes adhered to glittered lids

I woke up so many times with blue on my pillow case 

even went out of my way for it. Which color am I 

tonight? I decide on evening red as I glide a stain on my lip akin to deers blood. 

And what sacrifice. I wonder when 

the first opal beaded shoes will dance on Mars

or how a disco ball reflects it’s light in space

and what remains broken or fractured after

all of you belts out:

I feel love.
