Poet’s Corner

Marked

by

Carmen Tafolla 

M’ija.

It is for those

who would

erase.

Make your mark proud

      and open,

Brave,    

           beauty folded into

      its imperfection,

Like a piece of turquoise

      marked.

Never write

with pencil,

m’ija.

Write with ink

      or mud,

or berries grown in

gardens never owned,

      or, sometimes,

           if necessary,

      blood.
