Impressions I used to faint every time we talked about broken bones in class until a few years ago the world ended and I painted my body with ink with blades when I was young I would burn infinitely in the night cigarettes pressure against the skin leaves marks that even secrets can tell and I’ve tried to die twice but neither time I was successful I wonder often if that makes me stupid that I don’t understand my own mortality or how to re-take it and there’s a wonder in being unconscious and thoughts are overwhelming when you’ve been stabbed in the arm by a thick needle’s eye recently my friend quietly incising my flesh over and over and I remember why I went on psych meds now Rx containers were the vessel of my first death it’s only natural I should paint my body with tattoos of the things that should’ve killed me Noah David Roberts (they/them) is a non-binary poet and artist attending Community College of Philadelphia.
