One could see the sun.
The season was winter.
The temperature was 32°F.
It was not snowing.

PHOTO OF MY DAD IN GUATEMALA STANDING IN FRONT OF A GRAFFITIED WALL THAT READS “CENTRAL AMERICA ANOTHER VIETNAM FOR THE IMPERIALIST YANQUI,” 1986

Sunglasses and smiling. Above
the words, a demonic American
depicted gripping a bayonet,
barefoot and bloodthirsty.
The sun casts my dad’s shadow
at the soldiers knees
as though begging for mercy.
