Laura Rodriguez (3rd place. Poetry. Spring 2010 Writing Contest)
Always On My Mind by Melody Medina
The one with
Slacks and button-ups.
The one with
Negotiations and cold coffee.
The one with
Late nights and left overs.
The one with
Four kids and no time.
It’s this older life I’m afraid of
previous. next.
