Lilla Latus, POLAND

Exclusive: Best of Women Poetry: Edited by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

BLURRED PHOTOGRAPHY

The girl committed suicide

swallowing slowly

less and less colourful pills

staring at the dead end

of the street ahead

stroking her Persian cat with one hand

and clutching

the brazenly colourful photography

in the other one

Nobody cares

that the pills in fact were

rat poison

the cat was a teddy bear

and the street

one of the longest ways

ever

And there was no photography
