Crosswalk Poem by Leila Ired

Crosswalk



If the world were a crosswalk
two straight white lines
telling us
to live our lives
in fear of
death
love
and censure
then I must be the one
to walk outside of them
because I know
there is more
to be afraid of
than just
death
love
and what
you call
censure
