A Poem by Megan Huwa


I see you

walk out the black screen door

with your Husky. Just

like I saw you

with a pregnant belly.

I see you

with your Husky. Just

like I saw you

with a stroller.

I see you

with your Husky and Husky puppy. Just

like I saw you

without a stroller.

I see you, still, 

neighbor,

enduring.

Megan Huwa is a poet and writer in southern California.

Her work has been published or is forthcoming in Thimble, Clayjar Review, Solum Literary Press, Calla Press, Ekstasis, and elsewhere, and featured on The Habit Podcast and Vita Poetica Podcast.
