Emily Luker Poem
Her eyes were more like stars
In the sense that when you began to gaze
You saw God.
The inky irises fell to her shoes
Spilling rose colored water
Down her cheeks.
Faint light sparkled in those depths
A faint light glowing
Past the past.
Your skin turned to glass
And those eyes dove into
Every thought.
Your heart lived
Remembering every fire
That lit.
The stars peering
To the shadowed forests
Fall.

Emily Luker Poem
They herd us
Cattle
Skin brushing
Smell of sweat rising
Get in line
Forces shoving
Pushing
They funnel us
Older ones there
Younger ones there
Corridors cramped
Breathing
Silence
They tell us to think
Be creative
Our heads
Trapped in a bridle
Occupied
They do not want creativity
They reach their hands
Down our throats
Replacing our words
With theirs
They grip our hearts
Ripping apart the dreams
They told us to chase
Write whether you agree or not
You do not agree
You are wrong
Cattle
They place us
In isolation
Claiming
We do not meet
Their standards
They tell us to think
To be creative
But we are wrong
