this is the
sound of looking away
from a stranger right
when eyes
are supposed to meet.
this is the
indifference of
privileged ones when
confronted with the
unlucky unhealthy
unattractive unattended.
this is the salt
water grip of the
powerful on those who
don't know anything
other than the
choking on sulfurous
gulps of depression,
anxiety, remorse,
belittlement. this is our
rebellion. this is our
time to say we disagree.
this is our place to take
control and steer
this sinking hulk of metal
and death to calmer
seas. earth-shattering
gifts of humility and love
float on the thinnest of
breezes when a whisper
can send them away.
we are indicted with the
power to change things,
make things happen, if
only, oh so slightly maybe,
we would look up
to a crack in the sky
and catch a glimmer of
silvery hope. our name
is Legion, and we are
more than many,
and we are yes. earth-
shattering gifts of humility
and love float
on the thinnest of breezes
when a whisper
can send them away.
