We’ve decided the world needs more poetry. Here’s our first submission. Please send us yours. Select pieces may appear in this newsletter. Thanks.
Brown face,
Chocolate hair,
Almond eyes,
Ready to withdraw
But waiting….
Fine expensive clothing,
Delicate, prideful, fearsome;
Clean and pressed
With edges frayed.
Stolen glance,
Quiet reproach or
Mistaken intent;
Peripheral understanding.
While screaming wheels beneath
Steel on steel,
Sing their song;
Pleading in the darkness
