Lana Karina Poems

We are always a little bit off-kilter.
Alone, I wait for you to find yourself home
From distant orbits.
Only to find
...

Once there was a girl and a boy
They sat in the back rooms of cafes, with the smokers
Not because they smoked, but because they thought the tobacco clouds were romantic
And they cocooned themselves in blankets
...

Behind the rows of crooked teeth
My mouth is full of secrets -
Caught up in my braces,
Tucked into the pouch of my cheek,
...
