Th e Art of Drowning<br />
<strong>By</strong> Jaclyn Porfi lio<br />
My cartoons swallow the heat,<br />
absorb a bit of the spills.<br />
I can conjure a laugh, secure a smile<br />
swing from the White Star Line,<br />
fi nd love at the bottom of the bottle.<br />
He used to fall through my drawings,<br />
lie crumpled in the waste bin.<br />
I wish I knew how to keep him<br />
inside my pen, removed from air,<br />
his neck within my fi ngers. Or<br />
I wish I knew how to draw him.<br />
Th e ship slides in, I’m told,<br />
and then it’s fl icked to full.<br />
I wish that’s how it worked<br />
with him, his outline black<br />
on white hid beneath the pages.<br />
