i wish
that the syllables
that compose
your name

Corpse (2012-2013) // michelle (goff) rynkewicz

You crashed into me,
Intertwined your limbs
Around my heart line.
Pushed your fingers

10 Reasons She'll Keep Her Rape a Secret (2013-2014) // Teairha Mitchell

you'll turn her pelvic bone into a super hero
make her hold the weight of a million rape survivors
make her responsible for her tragedies
tell her that this is bigger than her

The Bird (2014-2015) // Jillian Sabre

Never Saw it Coming (2014-2015) // Aundrece Powell

Blinded by the fun
of playing with dolls,
of unplanned sleepovers,
of trying on her mother’s clothes.

Midpoint Sonnet (2015-2016) // Sarah Davis

The smell of new graphite freshly sharpened,
Compliment their scratches of inscribed curves.
To this smell and sound my senses hearkened,
And productivity provoked my nerves.

 

Halfway Point (2019-2020) // Katie McCauley

Her lips are red and sweet like candy,
And her hair, like fire, is piled on top of her head

 

Toxic (2020-2021) // Kate Durot

Forget me. 
            Let memories of me come and go, like coloring leaves on autumn trees.
For the love of God, forget the way my feathery blonde hair always smells like fresh
Georgia peaches
