SOMETHING TO NOTHING
At first I was the alpha
wolf living in my own world
watching the stars fight
but now I am fishing for my
life back
Isaiah
Letter to Jupiter
A square shaped space
where a group of people
with letters, numbers and shapes
or drawings on their skin
They sit on 4 legs
or wheels, wood or metal
things people with clear skin go in to
meet the people without clear skin
The space is not quiet
or open
Vicki
Letter to Mars
Like a bird
whose wings never flap.
The bird holds people inside
keeping them hostage.
Then releases them
far from where they began.
Baylee
Jungle Gym Fun
At first I was a wittle bitty elephant, jelly-
fishing through a field of sea cows.
But now I am a clown with the body of a
spider running after old ladies.
