Untitled by Teresa Koro

Text Box:  44


soft curls brush against broken glass and sharpened tongues

there’s a rip in my hemline of rationale, but i

i refuse to acknowledge it.

chapped lips eraser marks frustration pooling in pores uncleansed

eighty eight minutes spent dissecting self-destruction

and all the ways a death can occur.

manic nights bleed crimson to panicked sunrises

seventy times seven ended years ago and it seems that

second chances are thoroughly exhausted.

what is life when a long day is greeted by a

dead body in the spare bedroom?

an endless mystery kept locked in shared genetics.

synonymous with vagabonds and inner city alleyways

a fire escape used as an exit from a depth so frenzied

, there is no explanation. nothing to


make sense of.

tantamount and paramount and utterly insecure

smudges of black frame a face that is entirely unsymmetrical
