LUSTED BY MANY, LOVED BY NONE
by Karla Azzeh
Written in lipstick prayers and pearls, for the girls who look like sin and feel like Sunday.
A series of poems exploring the violence of being desired but never truly seen. Through lace, lipstick, and sorrow, these pieces unravel the archetypes forced upon women - the Madonna, the Whore, the Dream Girl - and what happens when a woman dares to destroy the fantasies built around her. It's a slow, sacred rage: beautiful, brutal, and born from the longing to be both wanted and witnessed.
