We the People
a gunshot-two-three three Muslim students
shotshotshot on the street where they lived
on the street where I lived where I live still
mourning the loss of morning where I live
death absence where once there was breath
and heartbeat the blank of powerlessness
in my gunlessness light breaks through dark
over a city where death death arrives in bullets
we wake to light-in-dark after we toss
in our nonsleep at the sound of gunshots
