Amigo

 

My heart like butter

A swing in the snow

A rock away

There goes my boyfriend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul Martinez

 

Mi Abuelo

 

Old wrinkled skin

So fragile, so nice

I love my grandpa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Omar Ruiz

 

Algo Mal… Hay un Cambio

 

Gazing through his mama’s eyes

There’s a change of pace

Acting weird nodding heads

Oh my God morning sickness

Could it be something inside?

WHAT!!!

A baby brother?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caremy Esparza

 

Empate

 

Ducking and weaving around

My imagination, jumping over me

Stalemate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yajaira Mendoza

 

Sombra

 

Hiding under the blankets

A shadow in the closet

Mommy!!!

“Callate!”

Callado…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ofelia Cortes

 

Palabras

 

 

An image of pain

Contaminating my mind

My heart spilling what

Love had left

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brandie Mendoza

 

En Ti

 

 

Echoing freely

What it is

Itself in you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kimberly Briseno

 

Paz

 

 

My whole world sparkled

My soul, let me see peace if I can

Hot uncompromising

On a Friday evening dogs barking

Gentleman from mars rebel without a cause

Good bye who are you?
