The Anthem A mom boards up her apartment in Mexico Anxious, loading kids into the car An elderly lady takes the keys and pats her hand “I’ll keep an eye on it til you get back.” Someone kneels at a crosswalk on a cold New York day Hungry, hands clasped A man comes out of a restaurant “Hey! Waddaya wanna eat?!” A small girl cries under the hot Brazilian sun Tired, blushing from the heat A vendor stands up from selling water bottles to tourists “Take my chair, sit in the shade.” A cook in Georgia knocks on a neighbor’s door Late, catering truck won’t start A Bosnian man comes out with jumper cables “I’ll give you a jump.” The world over In every language Working class folks sing the same song “Today you, tomorrow me.”

A poem about travel and the working class.

Happy Halloween 🎃💖

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Not a fan of gooeyness myself haha

I do love when ghosts are described not as terrors, but as who they likely were in life: smiles, songs, and often pretty mundane.

Its starkness, tone, and even the vertical columns created by the format almost create a sense of a wall that the victim has put up between themself and what was done to them. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you!

The Old Guard Ancient medicine says disease Comes from ghosts in your blood. Well I don’t feel sick… But I can feel them in there. I’ve no need of ofrendas Or flores de cempasúchil. They are right here. The floor is cold, put on socks mija. She looks hungry. Offer her food. This needs more salt… And when life aims to cast a fatal blow, They race through my veins, Turn tender flesh to bronze, Turn tattered fists to gauntlets. They whisper. We’ve survived worse. They scream. ¡Partele su pinche madre!

A poem about family and the people who give me strength.

Consolation I look up to you in your golden tower Bought in blood and bones Feeling no comfort nor faith That one day you will atone. But I have one single thought, Always warms my broken heart. Time is just. And one day we’ll both be dust.

A poem about power.

With SNAP benefits expiring, help keep families fed this holiday season by calling and emailing your governor. Ask them to feed folks by:
- declaring a state of emergency
- using the national guard
- calling a special session

Let’s do a good deed today ❤️
