Awareness Across the Whole Realm by Ben Nardolilli

Seeking not the change
Of hearts but to worry
About their arrangement instead




Ben Nardolilli currently lives in New York City. His work has appeared in Perigee Magazine, Red Fez, Danse Macabre, The 22 Magazine, Quail Bell Magazine, Elimae, fwriction, Inwood Indiana, Pear Noir, The Minetta Review, and Yes Poetry.
