Poems
Nov 2017
meanwhile summer
meanwhile,
summer is not
ours
it is not
a celebration,
it is teddy bears
on street corners,
bodega flowers
on makeshift graves,
distorted faces of
home-printed memorials
on t-shirts
the same color and
texture as what
the dead boy was selling,
meanwhile,
summer is nothing more
than closed houses,
decks with grandmothers
scowling down at the teenagers
who are not sure
if
they
are even real
Kinda inspired by Danez Smith.
