I wrote this poem at 4 AM on November 8, 2016, aftermath of American election. It was subsequently published in the University of California newspaper- http://synapse.ucsf.edu/articles/2016/11/09/anonymous
Deep night overwhelms the emptiness.
I would like to stay in this dark forever.
I feel safe here-
no one knows my skin,
no one knows my religion,
no one knows my sexuality.
I see hues chasing the ropes of the Golden Gate.
When light goes out on the bridge for a moment,
the city becomes the loudest in anonymity-
no shame of being America!
