(Holding Out hope) (for Home)

Adanya Ella

This is an erasure poem of a news article. It reads: 

Holding Out hope for Home

decades of
neglect and racism
will
not
just disappear it thrived in the police
and
the 
Officials
we
hope to see a
space
without worrying about disappearing
Home has a long way to go
