“Flashcard Kisses”
Poem by Audrey Isabelle Mabanta

The weapon of my misery
is one that flatters me

Lies and truths
makeup its scripture
Desires and expectations
makeout its posture

The weapon of my mystery
is one that suits me

Filth and trickery
uphold a deviant nature
Sharpness and warmth
hold onto a forgotten prayer
