black lives matter
until another matter, matters
until another form, swarms
until another cause, draws
until replacement, replaces
until the next occasion persuades us
until another mother’s stomach wields
another Emmit Till
beyond the lectern
before the lantern
shinning upon the next concern
with the ashes of its predecessor in inside an urn
we have to seize our turn
fore a moment never lasts
even if we’re used to being exactly that, last
