Poetry
The Indelible and Invisible
Aethiopia, Abyssinia, Askum, Kush
All names thrown around by history books, by scholars
Attempting to intellectualize, rationalize, standardize
the place my parents call home
Holy Ghost
I blame you for everything –
I blame myself for even more.
I’m dumb and stubborn; you, careless.
I Would’ve Made a Better Pirate
When Little Boy spent summers at the sea
Two Breaths, Hold
“In through your nose, out through your mouth
in through your nose, out through your mouth”
A Collection of Poems as the Months Go By
Hot denim chokes thighs
While blissfully curled eyelashes
Flatline
Chris Greene
It’s not alright and it hasn’t been alright, not since you yelled at me over flowers, but the flowers weren’t really the issue.
