Francisco Lopez

Francisco Lopez started writing about 3 years ago. Most of his writing is about immigration, human rights, and "politics." He was first published by the Southern Humanities Review in 2016.

“I Want a Good Death,” “So, I Want to Start a Concentration Camp” and “The Flag, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Saint Rita”

It is a funny thing to turn thirty-four
It takes me no more than ten minutes
Of staring at yellowing maple leaves To restore the thought that even my maple trees will die
And then, it hits me:
I want a death with all of the proper documentation
It is true, even if it may not be the case in certain parts of
Pakistan and India
