everywhere remembers
poetry by Katie Simpson
everywhere remembers
the city is coated
in strangers’ destruction
tasting like
campfire and sorrow.
in dallas,
there were 9 tornadoes,
running like children
on the first day of summer.
in miami,
the water is rising
like reaching fingers,
to reclaim her streets.
yesterday, my roommates
tried to escape
but the smoke followed them.
where do you go
to pretend, to forget?
everywhere is remembering.
