can't see? by Lauren Hyunseo Cho (17, South Korea)

did you know the world revolves
around a glass lighthouse, illuminating
Lost silhouettes?
Did you know we live to roam
within the archives of double-
Sided mirrors?

---

did you know that if you open
your lover’s stomach,
You’ll see a crow’s
calculating cornea, wrecked red, fixated
On your soul’s
gleaming throb?
pumping your sleepless 
Heart, trying to expel mob dyslexia’s
haze of blue.
still, you gaze
With your hollow sockets, past
murky horizons and the bubbles
We breathe in.​
