Poem – Making an Attempt (By David Hernandez)

December 17, 2018 Antarctica Journal

Making an Attempt   An enclosed UBH hospital room is the first step to maintaining my privacy and treat my phobia to the outdoors.   The second step is to visit a restaurant and eat a grilled cheese sandwich, along with mashed potatoes.   I have a window to view the sky; I don’t need to visit a small park […]

Poem – Where the Grass Grows (By David Hernandez)

October 15, 2018 Antarctica Journal

Where the Grass Grows   Sunlight narrows the shadow, spreading across the writer’s back to his face. He wakes, ready to feed his children, walks through the halls, and out to the patio with a leash around his neck, and a nurse by his side. Near the cracks in the concrete that shape the letter Z, he sees their hair. […]
