When You Left

Picture


​Excerpt:



Did you foresee,
Generations later--
Your son, Your grandson, Me           
Walking into your preserved church,
Sitting in the wooden pew,
Listening to sermons
¿En tu idioma? 


"When You Left" was inspired by a visit to my great-grandfather's hometown in Spain. The complete poem was published in From Everywhere a Little: A Migration Anthology from 100 Thousand Poets for Change. Purchase a copy at this link to read this poem and others from poets around the globe speaking on issues related to the theme of migration.
