“The Box,” by Mikaela von Kursell

      …was always there
a little box in the corner of the screen.
If you clicked it,
It beeped.
If you clicked out of it,
It beeped.
If you clicked around it,
It beeped. 
      …was always there
a little box in the corner of the screen.
If you clicked it,
It beeped.
If you clicked out of it,
It beeped.
If you clicked around it,
It beeped. 
      We’re all just leaves
           Waiting to fall
We’re all just guitars
           Waiting to be played
      It was Monday
when you burned up,
in a swell of
fire and brimstone.
