No One

Vandal Poem of the Day: March 10, 2021

 by Andrea Cohen

 after Ani Gjika

 No one I love was taken
 into the woods and shot,

 you said. You said
 this in a meadow

 of a dress and kept
 on talking and all

 I saw was a forest,
 all I heard was one

 clean shot and no
 one—toward the dear

 clearing—running.
