Emerging BIWOC Poet Spotlight
July 2024 Poet: Angelique Zobitz
Love Letter to The Revolution No. 2
Sweets,
When I was a child, my mother and aunts would sit in the kitchen
gossiping—bathed in moonlight, diffused through—a dream,
wine, religion, and success.
I hold the stars between my teeth—your tumults, your marriages,
aches, and your deaths—to fashion a world that will hold all
the promised to come,
in her outstretched palm. I’ll teach you a poem: show me someone
not full of herself and I’ll show
you a hungry person.
Drink: laugh and dance and sing and play.
If you don’t look back, the future never happens.
Where are we going, without you?
