Chasm
My bed shakes the way mom would shake the end of the bed to wake us up for school. Then the shaking gets more intense and I realize I’m twenty-seven and I don’t have school anymore. It’s the middle of the night. I wake up in a jolt. It’s an earthquake. What are you supposed to do during an earthquake when you're barely awake? I yank the quilt off of me and head to the door, hoping to find my dad. We find ourselves in the hallway at the same time. We look at each other through bleary eyes and hang on to our door frames. The sound of glass, metal, trees and concrete breaking, is all I can hear now.

How I Learn to Swim
As I stand freezing, waiting for my boss to rotate our outside positions, I long for my Sun, my Heat and to lay on the sand as it warms my frozen toes. It’s funny the things you miss when they’re not readily available to you anymore. I moved from Dorado, Puerto Rico to Brooklyn, New York in a hurry and in 4 days time. I got on a plane, landed and headed straight to work. I barely had time to process what was happening and what was getting left behind. I lived on my island for 27 years before this and longed for an escape, so when the opportunity came I ran to it.
