Angelina Mazza

Poem for the Apocalypse

​We never asked for this
spring, didn’t boil
our water twice. Burned
tea bags to cover our
bases, bit our nails
to spit them back
out. Began each
lay prayer with please,
last one, promise, peeled
our afternoon skin off
the bed sheets. Outside,
one blue glove
tied to a wet tree branch
hangs above our living
room window like a
rubber crucifix.

NOTE:  A reading of Angelina's poem may be found on The VS Podcast hosted by Danez Smith and Franny Choi.
