"It feels like an internal ventriloquist
in which the dummy lives inside
your mind,
repeatedly trying to tell you
you're nothing special, barely alive,
you might as well be dead.
Are you talking to yourself
again or did something else invade
your brain, aiming to convince you
that you're not really you anymore?"
the beginning of Juliet Cook's poem "Dummy", one of three new poems of hers, newly appearing in Misfit Issue 42, Summer 2026!
Delighted to be included!
