Today we have an impressive and intriguing Folding Mirror poem from a new FM poet: KJP Garcia.  The poem was first published in the Straight to Screen section of Kenyatta’s website, and there have been a couple more since, which will hopefully also appear here soon.  But if you want to read them now, please head over to KJP’s website from the above link.  Here’s the poem, enjoy!

it was july

out for summer

the smells took seat in hair, skin

as the wandering began

past yesterday’s rain, junk

heading down to

*

main street

*

winding up on

this block – this place

empty glasses – full seats

another round, before the leaves turn

back to classroom echoes

and their fall.
