Trilobite

Trilobite is an arthropodologist's delight:
many bizarre creatures; no two alike.

“Long Exposure: Aubade”

Aaron VanSteinberg

Only victims

of the night


let light re

fine regret


from la

mentation. A


gray dawn

boding, in


born to two,

a wry, reedy


contusion. I

find waves


awake our

he arts


in this way.

You can call


it longing,

if you like:


Castor di

agno sing


Pollux. Far

from Gem


in i

incest, sick

ness shrouds

insistency’s


young modus:

the mirrors.


Just like

the dawn, my


heart is

silently bra


king. Just

another word


we taught

someone to


say—and just

that once,


when the

sun came up.
