A Reckoning
A Reckoning
A RECKONING
The cops who wear the punisher logo
The bullshit no-knock warrants
The missing body-cam footage
The doctored ballistic reports
The post-hoc justifications
The pointless self-inquiries
The details for the judge they cannot seem to recall
The God of Justice remembers it all
The moments before we leave
The bodies left unmoving
The names spelled out in flowers
The ground where ash is scattered
The griefs that overlap
Like a herringbone pattern
The souvenirs of love we hang upon the wall
The God of Justice remembers it all
The bitten tongues through anger
The fists that we unclench
The tearful prayers of thanks
The hope that change is coming
Each fragment of forgiveness
The joy that is rebellion
Every power we resist or evil we befall
