Campina Verde
April 29, 2022
There’s a small town in the middle of nowhere
Where the dirt is more like dust
And days and nights blend together
Its name means “Green Meadow,” not that it’s all that green
The grass is yellow from the heat
And the wear and tear of time has had its effect
But despite the chipped paint on the houses
And the old parks with their cracked pavement
My grandma’s home is mine too
