Dear beautiful reader,

It is my request that the art simply speak for itself :-) this month, as most of May was spent in grief and restoration. Thank you for understanding. I hope you enjoy these poems.

With gratitude,
Amy

No One

And the animal in my chest says—
“No, please, he can fix this. He can fix this.” 
But the camera in my head has already

It knows

He was evicted a month ago
And yet I am still holding onto an expired lease

But eventually, I will move out too.
I won’t have kept any of the photographs.
