Safe Harbor: A poem for the marginalized.
In our life raft,
rowing to survive
May 4, 2025
Safe harbor, so far away,
but not where we are.
In our life raft,
rowing to survive
Surrounded by
Great white sharks,
Circling around us,
showing bloody teeth.
Great white sharks,
hungry,
frenzied,
waiting,
to devour,
to erase.
Safe harbor, far away,
but not where we are.
Together
we will get there.
