Don’t
The poem “Don’t” by Amanda Rodriguez was published in Acentos Review. It was part of their “Natural” Disasters and the Environment issue. “Don’t” interrogates the synthetic qualities of human life. It critiques humanity’s disconnect from and mockery of nature. It’s also a critique of destructive, disingenuous human relationships.
Acentos Review is a quarterly literary and arts journal that promotes and publishes Latinx work.

When I’m cold, don’t
Don’t
Give me my own bones and
Tell me to build a fire.
