1 Poem by Erick Fernandez

Updated: Apr 1, 2019


The loneliest man in the universe

I knew of man that died alone

His brain being eaten by a sickness

He forgot my name

He couldn’t register emotion

What it felt to love

What it felt to cry

He was already dead

He sat there in a empty room awaiting his time

Looking out the window

Into a river of trees

The clouds bearing his name

No one came to say a word

Until he passed

Then everyone said his name



Erick Fernandez was a business major at City University of New York. He is a regular contributor to Marías at Sampaguitas.
