Amara Bratcher

early morning shouts of joy
heads bobbing over fence
five lanes of traffic separate us
but glee has a strange way of carrying.

shrill
unedited
childhood
cacophony

in a world of madness
what pleasure it brings
to see kids on a trampoline.



twenty years old

old people make me sad
