| Reflection Kharinova Uliana |
No one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city
running as well
your neighbors running faster
than you
breath bloody in their throats
the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind the
old tin factory
is holding a gun bigger than his
body
you only leave home
when home won’t let you stay.
"HOME,"
