My Eye, a Poem by D Larissa Peters

The world is surging around me … chaos
protests, disasters, crashes and killings
And in the eye of the storm, I’m on the floor
building legos
My 2-year-old architect demands
music, and I play it
I lay on my back, my ears closed
to anything beyond
his clear, middle-C tone voice calling
mamma
