My California by Tomas Nieto

We laugh until our fault lines split / our names into hyphens and we breath / the salt air of the Pacific like it is part of us. / Every mouth eats, every voice speaks, / every belly swells with second chances.

Locks. Flood gates. Skies. Mouths, / hungry for words. Lungs. Schools. / Casket creating a small world of rain.
