26 Not Sure This is the Summer Day Mary Oliver Had in Mind
George. Breonna. Ahmuad. Trayvon. Eric. Roberta. Pearl.
The unwilling faces of a movement
400 years in the making.
Their “one wild and precious life”
Stolen.
No chance for a plan.
We tweet the latest hashtag
Mourn on social media
But maybe we consider Mary’s question
To have the courage to stand physically
And not just in theory.
