Remembering
poems
- A Black birder
- subjected to
- attempted murder
- by words
- so calculated
- that even
- the birds
- could no longer
- sing–
- A Black woman
- shot dead
- in her bed
- holding dreams
- that will
- never
- find their way
- to this harsh
- reality–
- A Black man
- his body pinned
- under
- the flagpole
- of a white
- Knee–
- A body
- ripped
- of breath–
- A life stripped
- of color–
- Killed–
- by and with
- a weapon
- deadlier than History–
