Poem title: like a paper cut by Lindsay Soberano Wilson Poet name: Poem: invisible yet visible when a slow drip drip drip drop dribbles leaks and then streaks crimson onto white painless and yet painful like a passing thought or an unkind word that you forgot until a tear appears and reappears in the shape of a shapeshifting tear stain on the heart  — like a paper cut. End of poem.
