An Untitled Poem from My Son Antonio (7)

9/10/2017

Stars are bright, and I want to send a message to them.

Joy is bright.

But a red light is in my heart. And it will always be there.

-Sined Antonio

(The poem was in response to a punishment. Guess why he got punished? Or better yet, I'm going to punish him if he produces poetry like this one. Just kidding!)

MARIA J. ESTRADA is an English college professor of Composition, Literature, and her favorite, Creative Writing. She grew up in the desert outside of Yuma, Arizona in the real Barrio de Los Locos, a barrio comprised of new Mexican immigrants and first-generation Chicanos. Drawing from this setting and experiences, she writes like a loca every minute she can—all while magically balancing her work and family obligations. She lives in Chicago’s south side with her wonderfully supportive husband, two remarkable children, and a menagerie of animals.
