To Retreat is not to Flee
Bend backwards land of my ancestors
Tilt the universe
Let the multicultural world look itself in the eye
Read its reflections and
write a poem of hope
In this season of death threats
from invisible forces
That compel us to lock ourselves
In our shacks and mansions
Washing our hands
Praying for salvation!
