Fragmentation

By Ana Maria Finzgar

the taste of cinnamon in my mouth

burned

my tongue raw

(reminded me of christmas cookies)

 

the couch we all sat on every day

watching television to ungodly hours of the morning

made me want to destroy the world

(bad dad-jokes never seemed so good)

 

melancholy never felt more like a harmful illness

and neither did loneliness

partialness has became a routine

 

it all started with a separation

and ended with being stretched over

two continents to the point of breaking

 

Ana M. Finžgar is a fifteen-year-old from the Mediterranean. This was her first serious attempt at poetry.”
