She prayed to Saint Rose of Lima to grant her that rarest of gifts: to become invisible.

In his heart the feelings were clear

AG2026_1089037a or Till I reach the shade
I seek and desire,
Even as the wind
That travels the plain
And stirs in the bloom
Of the apple-tree.
I wander through life,
With the searching mind
That is never at rest,
Till I reach the shade
Of my lover’s door.
[I seek and desire], Sappho, translated from the ancient Greek by Bliss Carman
AG2026_1144841a or let slip the ache
In company
we spoke in code,
in inklings
without ink.
Our eyes alone
let slip the ache—
like phantom scribbles on
the heart’s blank page.
[In company], Ulayya bint al-Mahdi, translated from the Arabic by Yasmine Seale
I keep his name
from everyone, but to my soul
I babble on and on
about this crazy passion.
How I long
for some deserted place
where I could shout his name!
[I keep his name], Ulayya bint al-Mahdi, translated from the Arabic by Yasmine Seale

We were dancing—it must have
been a foxtrot or a waltz,
something romantic but
requiring restraint,
rise and fall, precise
execution as we moved

The Party, the Protest : Kay Gabriel and the Nightboat School of Poets, by Anahid Nersessian (Bookforum)
“Gabriel’s new book, Perverts, exemplifies the new poetry’s distinguishing features without being reducible to a narrow patch of typicals. It is queer and leftist, urbane, elegant but bawdy, erudite but steeped in popular culture, and passionately invested in forms of social life that feel distinctly contemporary—the party, the protest—but whose real history is ancient, even primordial.”
AG2026_1178190a or the grace of heaven
where, with a resonant clarity,
we fathom fortitude … steady
a place marked with an impulse
found and held within
the fold … honey
green … the color
of my quotidian space
Now, as then, the grace
Of heaven seems holding earth in its embrace.
