NaPoWriMo Challenge:
30 Poems in 30 days for National Poetry Month.

Poem 26/30
morning.

I try to teach children
to greet the morning
unbrushed teeth
ruffled hair
and say out loud,
this world deserves me.
I deserve the world.
I am important.

it is a lesson
I am sometimes
ashamed to
still be learning.

today I see a man
on the Q Train
who has lost his
face to a fire.
no one wants to
look, but can't
look away.
in it's place lives
the monster from
under the bed.
a ring decorates
the third of four
fingers on a
disfigured hand.
who does he love?
what does he say
to the morning?

4:49 AM
