Poems from Cassidy Paredes

SANCTUARY

by

The worn-out spine, I grasp too hard.

But it’s what I have.

It’s all I have.

My bitter poems I hold too dear.

It’s what I have.

It’s all I have.

They won’t leave me— they wouldn’t dare.

It’s what I have.

It’s all I have.

It’s what I am.

Ded. My escape, my sanctuary
