poetry in action #42 | From STRING THEORY by Karen Villeda, Translated by NAFTA • Action Books

Something or someone is the digression of a person. A fracture. This rope and latch. The room was
crammed full. A repetition of headstones, that’s her. “It’s time to abandon her.”
This side of death. “I couldn’t stand the humanity of your body.” She was replete with secretions.
I will still plunge my thumb in to complete a cycle, to perpetuate she who is breaking us without
annihilating the constancy of her (bad) memory. “The dead little girl.”
