Brave New Voices

É um projeto Americano, onde jovens declamam poesias compostas por eles.
Uma das muitas poesias que me chamou atenção foi o poema de Jay Davis.
Ele começa assim:

Favorite Color

Mom,

I wish I knew your favorite color.

The only one of Gods many crayons that gets you to sit up straighter.

To unbraid your spine from a roach egg infested headboard.

I bet its red.

Like a sea I’ve never seen

But hear quite often in your voice late at night.

If it is,

I will strip my skin off my body.

Bare crimson fles.

I’m sure that you’d look at me more often

If I was the color that makes you smile.
