“Unwriting You

by Jeanann Verlee



Your stitches

loosen and your face

unravels and your

lips fall to the tiles

and your tongue

dries to dust and your

fingers unhinge and

your chest sinks

and your mother

forgets you and your

lover takes a new

name and your desk

is given to your

assistant and your

niece asks where

you’ve gone and

subway doors close

on your ghost

shoulders and dogs

pee on your ankles

and your last meal

remains on the plate

and your wine glass

sits full and your

napkin folded and

your best friend never

calls again and your

subscriptions expire

and the letters you

wrote combust

on my shelf and the

photos of us melt

into small puddles

along the baseboard

and your closetful

of good shoes go

stiff and your father

remembers you by

a different name

and the children

we never had stop

whispering I love

you in my ear.”

[gr]attitude.

I am both honored and stunned by all the positive reactions and press and acceptances that ‘Bad Girls, Honey’ (my book of poems about Lana Del Rey, forthcoming on Tired Hearts Press) is already receiving. I’m really impassioned by the conversations these poems initiate, how they speak on beauty, death, violence, and feminism. I love writing all the time, but I must say that I have never found as much joy in the craft as I have found in this particular project. So I want to thank that haunted-jukebox of a singer, Queen Lana, for cracking my art open with her muse. And I want to thank everyone who supports me and my writing, and even those who don’t, all of whom have made me work harder. Go play a video game.

Is your poem "Fat Girl" published anywhere in a newspaper or magazine? I am a speech & debate student hoping to create a Thematic Interpretation (a collection of pieces with a similar theme brought together to create a point) about Body Shaming centered ar

It’s published in my book, “After the Witch Hunt” (Write Bloody Press). Good luck!
