"Like You"

29 September 2019: Came across this poem today in a mailing from the Academy of American poets celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. Love it.

"I believe the world is beautiful
and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone.
And that my veins don’t end in me
but in the unanimous blood
of those who struggle for life,
love,
little things,
landscape and bread,
the poetry of everyone."
