The Little Corners (2019)

Forsyth and Julia
Monroe and Laura

Peal and Fern
Adam and Jefferson

The streets of my city
come together

to make little corners,
los rinconcitos del amor.

Regardless of name
and circumstance.

The streets of my city,
the way they curve,

all the lights green
and everyone

along them
in love.
