protest – sunrise in a small city

rock promontory

in west baltimore you find rock
hetch-hetchy-like promontories
but oh my.
elijah.
banners of snow in a winter wind
ice on fire in a spring sunrise
huddled pine swelling ten thousand summers
autumn stalwart big moon mirror
elijah.
death and peace in the mountains
fountain of life
we breathe we climb

park and cathedral at sunrise — (*elijah cummings has been fighting the fascist coup since before j20)*

dear cadence

cadence lil here ‘sure mic 2 swing
ictus stress tones sense u ate
thump cadence ynot hellish live day
ynject groove trail redtape

thump cadence we live dying today

virtual address at sunrise — *(the city paper started becoming the beat in 2017)*

medi c/t ate

many times great god mother
walking calmly toward center
in a maze assembled over one thousand years
gathering oxygen to core
winds around
gathering oxygen to core
works out
gathering oxygen to core
switches forever

center of wellness at sunrise — *(erricka bridgeford prompted every one to be mindful of the violence in and around them, organizing a ceasefire that started in 2017 and continues)*

you die i’ll eat (unbridged)

in spite of our insignificance the fiery trial to the next generation stormy present enthrall our no democracy

devotion not perish

earth.

president street station at sunrise — *(the baltimore symphony orchestra performed a lincoln portrait a month after oligarchs managing northern asia assumed executive control of the united states in 2017)*

endura folks

darker rings
how many one chances to resist decay
starwaste or anthropolymer
absorbing stress response
precipating enzyme
until the forest entire burns
perhaps seeds after

united states district court at sunrise — (in 2017 thirteen baltimore residents were arrested for protesting against fascism in washington dc, an enclave of the united states without full representation, and prosecuted in dc to support fascist government policy and fascist government operations)

row mytopia

body of prisoner restless seizing breathless on shore
light on water quiet and slow
dripping from the oar
toward a tunnel out there an island
a kiss in a short and happy dream

rowing on the Patapsco at sunrise — *(in 2016 the city began investing half a billion dollars to build out the dream of a clothing manufacturer to grab shoreline and profit from leasing office, residential, and retail space)*

whose guardrail

to
gathering gaining advancing
all nations society salvation
through
sincerity
first step front line there

strength from all things

no matter where they read it
whose god they say said it
a means to prevent or deter access to peace love understanding
is making shit up
