Girls That Never Die
a girl embroidered
a girl teeth bared locked inside a photograph
a girl dances to the same coiled song can never leave
keeps her looks outlives the other guests
filled up with all her teeth never returns from the party
is never heard from again is everywhere
Forgotten But Not Gone
cries into your drink & returns it to you
makes you say her name salt in the well kills the whole village
— Safia Elhillo, from Girls That Never Die
