Thanks, I'll do three more short ones,
all sort of sonnety poems.
This is called "Black Hour Blues,"
and it makes a lot of reference.
And if you don't--
references and many of which you'll recognize,
but if you don't it's bad shit happening all over, basically
as the premise of the poem.
And the ending is an image of the goddess
that represents Justice.
"Black Hour Blues."
Nothing is the new black's shit soundtrack.
The elk's black blood leaks from the roof rack.
Black the prospects of the destitute sick.
Blackberries suppurate in the pie tin.
Green cards burnt black in the gas lit oven.
Black mold loitering in the privacy of prison.
Black Deepwater Horizon pelican and dolphin.
Through Standing Rock a black worm crawls.
Black Baltimore, Mali, Iraq, Sudan, Cambodia, Sinai, Selma,
Uh.
The darkling beetle raises its black back
and runs to the black ghost ship and Grenfell Tower ruins.
Black Syria, Somalia, Ferguson, Uh.
Attica, Gaza, Yemen, Huh.
Black heart weighed against an ostrich plume.
Blindfolded goddess, long sword drawn, nowhere in the oh,
come down, come down.
