atlantic island’s dream
–december 31, 2017–
by Luis S. González-Acevedo
when the winds arrived
they destroyed a foreign dream:
the American dream that never was just died
in spite of the atlantic’s screams
the hurricane left our puerto rican dream alive
and as hard as moving forward now may seem
our lone star will forever thrive
–atlantic island’s dream will appear in a future book of poems (release date | July 2020)–
