Carrie DeBacker, Corvus (gouache on paper)
Linda of the vacant blue
Linda of the talking mirror Linda of slashed canvases
Linda chewing her lips Linda in her bare apartment Linda of empty cans
Linda of blue irises Linda of the wild grass Linda of the quiet execution
Linda counting ragged flags Linda drinking lethal water
destitute and living in a car
a race to erase everything that is Linda
all manner of mother crumbled inside
