Another shot, ice cold on 26th street,
Another life lost before scrutiny.
No trial, no process, no jury of peers.
No innocent in Gerry’s land of fear,
Just bodies to be deported
Six feet under American clay.

“I am the absence” turns into an ethic of care. Move lightly and the world remembers its shape.

History calls us to remember Boston, abolition, Normandy and asks if we’re still those people, or if we’ve bowed to an orange man-god. Adam G. House’s new poem is live.

This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.

“Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️
