“We are here to meet with Ben Carson,” we all said.

Un Poema Para Luis-A Poem for Luis
(Español debajo)

who meet inside of so much grief

‘It’s getting really wet, now’ I thought, wincing with every footstep from a screw in my ankle. ‘Soon, it’ll be coming down too hard to move this library.’ My shoulders aching from moving shelves, books, and boxes from Uncle Al’s and Mama Dee’s Living (Really) Public Library.
