"Leviathan", by Victoria Chang

October 11, 2023

Leviathan

There's a creature that
usually lives in the sea.
We brought it to land,
fed it half of our own food.
measured its wingspan,
weighed its brain, stole its nightmares,
sent it back to sea.
This is why we can drown, why
our dreams never match our lives.

- Victoria Chang
