Daniel Shank Cruz's poem "After the Election": "Walking around Manhattan at lunchtime, watching others doing the same, watching them carry their lunch packages as I am carrying mine—a chicken shawarma and Coke in a brown paper bag—hunched against the strong wind off the Hudson which makes it feel like fall, which it is even though it’s in the mid-fifties, walking quickly so my shawarma will still be warm when I get back to the office, not seeing as much on the walk back as I did going because of this hurry but I make brief eye contact with a slight person, maybe nonbinary like me, who passes by carrying a white pizza box, everything is cement and asphalt and marble punctuated by bits of orange construction detritus, all of the buildings silent about what goes on in them, how does the rent get paid, can people afford their lunches or are they hasty splurges in response to our terrible times, I don’t know, I get back to my building and get an elevator to myself and push the CLOSE DOOR button to keep it that way until I get to my desk scent of onions in my cubicle fading sunlight"

I am thrilled that #FemkuMag has nominated my poem "After the Election" for a Pushcart Prize and a Haiku Foundation Touchstone Award! You can read the full list of #FemkuMag's nominees at 69b046c2-a7e1-4a9a-9a22-1c70986eaa24.filesusr.com/ugd/f4c0ea_3....
