I am getting so close to completing this Thing!

I’ve been working on this poem over the past week, & today I decided it’s close enough to finished to print out & (soon, I hope) take to a workshop. It’s called “Deus ex machina (U.S. aid)”—about Huey helicopters that were recently used to shoot pepper gas & bullets at thousands of peaceful demonstrators in southern Colombia.

Good job, Ruth! :)

I know these poems are a great struggle to write for you at times, so that makes me extra proud of you for having made such great progress with this.
