W inter Bondage
by Kareem Ali
In early morning
I stand perfectly still
Excitedly
Anticipating the tissue of morning
In the distant meadow
You break into a walk
Then I see you
Swimming into a quilt of trees
Gracefully continuing out,
Out where wild flowers
Settle into fissures of light
And there
The day finally ends
Drenching you in cracker crumb
Trail of snow
As you collapse from my arms
Into deeper waters.

Vendors gather at the Street Roots office for the weekly Writers’ Group. With prompts from Shakespeare to current affairs, vendors have the
creative time to write prose and poetry for the newspaper.
