You, in the park, feeding the pigeons
You cheering for the bees
You with cats in your voice in the morning, feeding cats

today you bathe, today
you laugh
Break
By Aracelis GirmayWhen the boys are carnivals
we gather round them in the dark room
& they make their noise while drums
ricochet against their bodies & thin air
