Claire Donato “Entwined” says the same thing as “enveloped,” only the word spirals a bit in its phonetics, follows the tongue down a staircase to a room that is empty. The room is white, its floor is dark, its splints are tiny pieces, a voice would echo. Its walls are sheets: take solace in the notion of a pair. I would be surprised if there is oxygen here. Have I told you you remind me of a sheet? Have I told you how I feel about your core? I want to look at you & see myself: I want to look at you & see a sheet. Sheets are mirrors, put a finger to the mirror, point out how the background casts a shadow of rain in the cranny. It is in this room you wear me |
Caketrain is a literary journal and press based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our interest is in bringing you, reader, the very best in contemporary creative writing, full stop. Our goals are for each issue of our journal to submerge you in a birthing tank for gelatinous language monsters, young masses of tentacular foci undulating as directed (in all, at once) by our eclectic stable of contributors; for each new book to seduce and ensnare you, sometimes intangibly, always undeniably; and for you, reader, to be able to draw at least one passage from our banks that prods your mind with a precision and power that feels as if it was written for your eyes alone.
