will be used against us
or against those we love.

βAt Hunter College in the 1970s, though, there was no one to exchange any ethnic or background ideas. I donβt recall any Latinas in my graduate art classes.β βEvelyn LΓ³pez de GuzmΓ‘n #repost
Family, history, and identity are what @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.socialβs poetry is all about. And heβs obsessed with trying to come to terms (in verse!) with who he is and what it is that heβs inherited. #PoetryIsLife

Foggy sunrise. Sleepy morning,
And more.
And concision.
Congratulations!

Definitely. The first few sentences are often an on ramp for the poem and end up deleted (or needing to be deleted) later.
Itβs a great day to work in the breezeway. Normally I would be concerned that itβs warmer than it should be this time of year, but today I am grateful. I was craving sun and warmth desperately.
