Poetry by Frances Ojeda-Diaz

unlimited redemption

programmed cell death, i’ve heard its a good thing
to become new again
                         our youth exposed as fiction

leave your heart in the rain,” my God said
this lesson i can never reject

we made up in our sleep
full from forbidden fruit
          coyote sick barking at the moon

don’t turn away from my black hole
               i’m giving exploited river body
                         offering unlimited redemption

misery needs company,     you and i are no exception
