Elizabeth Novotny

Elizabeth Novotny is a poet from Wisconsin. Her work has appeared in Wingless Dreamer and she has a piece forthcoming to Apricity Magazine.

“Hello Dear Visitor,” “Puddles Caressing My Skin” and “We’re Just Cordial Friends”

I deserted a place labeled as a home,
with outlets popping out from their cables,
an oven that I needed to light manually,
and a floral couch that creaked no matter the weight put onto it.
I still have that picture of you resting softly,
sinking into the cushions,
with a long tear at the top
