Pardon Me
I am an amnesty.
A type of propaganda
that would make old Tweed
proud-- a sebaceous gland oozing
the lies taught to me
by my forefathers.
I wear their sociopath,
unjudged.
They’ve left me
no company tonight
A nuclear light keeps hope
alive. Iridescent as Saddam
and Gomorrah.
I reside in the mesopotamic
promise that brought us all
together. A collaboration
of fists.
I am the legacy.
A gilded liver
full of your saloon–
collecting for punitive
damages.
Until I casually paw
at your broken door.
Wanting more.
Wanting more.
Bio:
I am currently an MA Literature student at the University of South Florida holding a BA in Creative Writing and an undergraduate certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I have traveled Northern America at length and have lived in Hawaii, Florida, and North Carolina.
