in the history

in the history
of responding to
acts of division,
the go-to responses
were to draw the

reflect, come
together, and
conjure them
into place

spent half the day curating,
placing, and hanging

fires spread into a sixth night

chatter

first thing, saturday

first thing, saturday
morning, you take
the temperature
of our nation without
fail – another
shooting, another
breach, a familiar
unrest, a polished
contempt – i am
in the other room,
hanging on until
brunch, waiting
for a bloody peace

the day before the

the day before the
day sits
undigested, yet
to be consumed
whole, a respite
before the unrest
