14 poets read from SGVPQ 52


MARIA A. ARANA

California

California,
You have killed me

You the abomination
of my lifeless body

California,
You have slaughtered my ambitions
and kept the souls at bay

California,
You have scattered my remains
to the four corners of the sea
Whose current would not withstand
solitude

California,
You have cremated my amputated limbs
and crushed my soul
so the four winds blow
my ashes to nevermore

California,
You abomination

You have killed me

Are you satisfied?
