Gordan Struić - Glitch
The Friday Feature
Glitch
my face froze
mid-smile,
pixels splintering
into static.
no one noticed
the crash.
From the Press:
Gordan is able to compress the human into the digital with precision. Glitch, though minimal in language, opens into vast implication: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Likewise, if the self fractures and dissolves, does the rupture matter if no one notices? The poem lingers in that silence, the gap between visibility and erasure, where presence collapses, and indifference becomes its own form of violence.
About the Author:

His poems have appeared in journals such as Headlight Review, Ink Sweat & Tears, 34th Parallel, as well as in anthologies by Beyond Words Press.
