Elephants and Donkeys

Elephants and Donkeys is my take on the aftermath of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. It's a poem about the heartache, the hope, and the uncertainty that follow a major shift in our political landscape. I wanted to capture the tension between red and blue, between victory and loss, but also remind us that no matter the outcome, we're all in this together. This poem is my way of processing the choices we make and the paths we take. It's not just about the election-it's about how we move forward when everything feels up in the air.
