there’s art
on the streets
over every
broken wall
we see ourselves
in paint
there’s art
on the streets
in every
broken leaf
(or the dirty sea)
we see ourselves
we paint
there’s art
on the streets
in every broken
promise, bone, and secret
we see ourselves
we are paint

Poem for Artivism
Artivism 2.0 in Iloilo City, Philippines. The city’s contemporary artists come together to paint the sadness of a polluted ocean. Outside a school, the paint inspires us to marine conservation and corrective action.
