Reflection
Staring at my reflection
I’m reminded of the visible difference
Between you and I
Pearly skin
Straight hair
Blue eyes
Brown eyes
Coily hair
Dark, fair skin
Between you and I
I’m reminded of the visible difference
Staring at my reflection

Listen
I heard banging
I heard yelling
I heard screaming and shouting
I heard I hate you
I heard I’m leaving
I heard the door open
I heard the alarm go off
I heard the door slam
I heard the car engine
I heard her leave me

The Tilting Towers
Never shall I forget the TVs changing in the middle of shows
Never shall I forget the sound of those who jumped
Never shall I forget the burning brave flames of those who risked their lives
Never shall I forget the screeching comms of walkie-talkies
Never shall I forget the tilting towers consuming the streets
Never shall I forget the screams and panics and cries of the innocent
