A poem by Alfredo Vea, Junior



They are death-defying,
Lofty and hazardous in their
Handsome strength.
Yet you’ll never track them down.
Still — they do leave behind
A faint earthbound trail:
Scattered here and there are
Broken men and women who,
Like old Jacob, limp along,
Injured by the burden of Light…


-Alfredo Vea, Junior
