Anuja Ghimire

Today they say they pray for El Paso

tomorrow caged kids will still sleep under aluminum blankets their kin will still weep close to the border tomorrow birds will perch on Walmart roof songs on their beaks whitewash on the SUVs the moon will come through spill on the bleached parking lot tomorrow you cannot stay in El Paso the white sun will burn holes in Texan clouds tomorrow, they will pray, El Paso
