a sorrowful reminder by Marissa Vidales

Inertia

poetry by Jordán Mendez

for a thousand days, I mourn your loss silence, no sound escapes beneath the shade of the sleepy evergreens I close my eyes and dream, meditating over my past mistakes the sound of thunder awakens me, as the tree above bursts into flames so used to stillness, at first I freeze, but the heat begins to touch my skin unsure of what to do I run for the first time in years
