Kristina Mahr, unknown title.
Oof, this one goes for the jugular
It's tough right?
I wish I knew which book this came from. I would buy it in an instant.
This is her book shop. She also has a Substack.

Thank you! I ended up emailing the author and asking which book this poem was in. She said it's from her newest book, "The Wound Before the Scar" I've ordered it but I don't yet know the title of the poem. I'll report back tomorrow when it arrives.
