one poem by Laura Anne Whitley

Halve your Cake and Eat it Too


If someone is asking for the moon it’s because they need it - Alejandra Pizarnik


I tell the fountain by my house about you every day

Two girls, one Honda,

not a drivers license between us


While i eat the baby cheese

you roll a ball on your palm

I add it to my drawer of little wax moons

We were jackals talking shit

We were a whole world

In my dreams I meet you at the grocery store

Where they

keep all the food


For Stevie, By Laura Anne Whitley
