Paper Cuts
by Angela Yuriko Smith
Love is a razor
like these photos that I keep.
Painful reminders
forever preserved
on stiff paper, stiff like you—
a paper cut love.
I should rip them all
like I ripped through your soft skin
shattering your rules
and your brittle bones.
You were not the final girl…
Still, I’ll remember.

The Bitter Suites
Book a stay at the Bitter Suites, a hotel that specializes in renewable death experiences. Whether you schedule your demise as therapy, to bond with a loved one or for pure recreation, your death is sure to give you a new lease on life. Renewable death is always beneficial… at least to someone.
A delectably dark poem.
Good one with a power-punch, Angela!!
