The City High Review

A poem by Nina Dang ’15

[ american dream ]

green grass, picket fence

dinner on the table and

her husband not home

[ wanderlust ]

she looks at the stars

and her heart trembles under

the weight of the sky

[ aspirations ]

ink stained fingertips

languid ease and weary eyes

notebooks filled with dreams

[ journey ]

packing her bags in

a feverish frenzy. she

is already gone.
