Excerpt from Don’t Shoot The Messenger by Ginger Harris

We sink into silk

every day

in paradise. Bathe in lushness

and praise our own soft

hands, nurture ourselves

in perpetuity.

For those strayed

into the jaws of this cause

I will plant a drop

of your blood

in the ground–

give your name

to what comes up.
