Obsession
Of saying Sandra was hanged,
left to sway like a dim lantern in a cage;
Walter fled and the bullets chased
his blood into the grass;
name gathering, deciphering dash and body cams,
citing the maroon of Philando’s wet shirt;
anniversaries, dates repeating
names, tombstones
floating over the heads of our buried;
weeping into laptops,
finding on a sister’s arm
the purple lake of bruise,
on a neck the spangled red of stranglehold;
and being asked, still
for brutality’s signatures,
to prime our gums with verses
to find in a throat’s pink chute
something reasoned as essays
to say,
the bones glinting between toes are ancestors’,
the vault of the bank is full of our blood,
the anthem singing only a graveyard
the land yellowed varicose; our caskets,
unmarked.
