Poetry, Angel Page Smigielski

brown girls dipped in small lamp lighting chewing on each other's giggles. low eyes

beaming out of big

minds. you two are not the same anymore. duende does not become you. what you are

is elongated gusto. swimming in baby blue rage & sage green confusion. drowning in

nothing worth mentioning. regardless you touch lips anyways.

perform forbidden dances, beg to become.
