House of Cards:

Alarming

By Caleb Waldron

Poetry

By Tina Violante

Dear B,

For the first dozen years of my life

I relished in being heartbroken over love

I didn’t think I was capable of experiencing.

I practiced gracefully restraining sobs

so I could still look elegant and pityingly beautiful

no matter which “the one” was prancing away.
