Poems by Julia Rose Lewis


​Corner of Your Eye 



little men waiting,
little green men multiply
like rabbits– don’t fight 



All little green fluorescent rabbits come from the sea from Aequorea victoria.  Albino rabbits are
the result of artificial selection by human breeders.  The protein of the green fluorescent jellyfish
can be maintained through breeding.  Alba, glows with a bright green light when illuminated
with blue light. The body of the rabbit is clay waiting for an ache to take inside.  Alive, a
lighthouse, she is a chimerical 



animal.  Alien and lovable body is the example of the problem.  Odo means unknown sample in 
the Bajoran language. Anomaly living with humanity. Roswell, time travel, kemosite, what is 
known lies between changelings and gods.  All the gods in this series are just other forms of life.  
Star Trek portrays science as curiosity as a desire for the unknown, as a discussion. 


  This is deep space indeed. 





Apples and Other Desires
after dad Dr. Anne Dalke



red delicious
the malus domestica
worth a thousand words




Recite it meant, oh my god, she’s so Quaker! Despite the giant turtle earring, and the shirt red as 
apple: anthocyanin, all american, and sinister. I have seen her sitting barefoot on lab bench and
on the facing bench. She gave me the planting of apple trees in the fall as a metaphor for
depression. For of course, old horses turn into trees, a farm of a forest. A story of evolution.
Appetite is a horse called Apple, who thinks herself to be a cow and steals a calf. Let me be an 
epiphyte not a parasite in this evolution of stories.
