The Most Tragic Death
The ground
Beneath us
Trembles in fear
The future is
Dark
The ending is
Near
The trees
Around us
Shrivel in fright
They cannot
Stand

The Night is Crying
Patter, patter, boom
The sky is torn and shredded
The night is crying

Most Likely
Most likely to
Trip
While sitting down
Most likely to
Speak
Without making a sound
Most likely to
Laugh
So nobody cries

I Fell In love With a Pigeon

All feathers, no job.
Smelled like breadcrumbs and bad decisions.
He coo’d at me like I was the last French fry in a drive-thru bag.
And I believed him.

What They Call Ghetto, We Call Home
They call it “the hood.”
We call it family.
They call it “ghetto.”
We call it culture.
It’s loud — but it’s home.
The ice cream truck rings at the same time every day.
