“Sonia Yells Bitches” by Nuha Fariha


Sonia Yells Bitches

and we all run into a yellow taxi
our warm brown bodies rushing
past frost lined treetops and
white clumps of grass, barren
fields, empty closed storefronts.
we are laughing, we are still
dancing, thump of reggaeton
our warm brown hands searching
for the handle, the blunt, the body

for anything to hold us for the night.
