I was asked to write a poem to perform at this year’s San Antonio MLK Virtual March, so I imagined the kind of world I wished we were living in. The dream that MLK had. This is “Autumn, Always” after Danez Smith. Much appreciation and gratitude to the city of San Antonio, the MLK Commission, and the production team behind putting this all together.
