Poetry 2015, Featured Writer Mansi Jikadara

     Spaces              

                                

  I lie there                                                                                                                                                                                            spaced out—                                    exhausted

between                                                                                        

those red creased sheets.

                                                                                And it hurts                                                                                                                                                                                        to know that                                                                                                                                                                     I only exist                                              between the spaces                                                                       

of your heartbeats.
