i'd plead
sage phillips
If I could
wish
for a piece of me back,
I’d plead for the hymen.
My comfort seems to
seep
from the gash
it once sewed closed.
But oh lord,
oh Devil,
It’s hard to feel
lonely
with someone that
close.
Sage Phillips is a novice poet, previously unpublished. She is a freshman at her local community college in Maryland.
