The History of the Earth by Miguel Angel Garcia, Jr.

First runner-up in the 2020 Los Angeles Review Literary Awards, in the category of poetry.
Final Judge: Francisco Aragón


is the history of migration
even the continents refuse
to stay in one place

one day these mountains
will bid goodnight to
an unfamiliar sky

one night our bones
will rest beneath
foreign stars
