Poems from karina henderson
They pulled me into circles,
Prodded me towards crowds.
“I’m not shy, I’m just quiet.”
They strutted towards boys,
Flipped their hair,...

As he watched leaves change color.
I knew him no more.
Eyes narrowed, smoldering coals.
They were never windows to the soul.
Perfect polyester skin stretched comfortably
Over fiberglass muscles...
