in the history

in the history
of responding to
acts of division,
the go-to responses
were to draw the
curtains or take to
the streets. perhaps
there is a
kaleidoscope of
choices, waiting
for us to rotate,
reflect, come
together, and
conjure them
into place

we are watering

we are watering
down
the
violence daily,
there is
no hope,
only action

a fist used up
looks most like
a sigh, condensed
into a comma, cut
into an opened
gesture, fingertips
no longer holding
breaths, palms blinking
a recollection of
light, skin
savoring beads
of recognition,
touch, a punctuated
longing
