In aeternum.

"While they all remain jailed in Texas, classmates leave cards on the student’s desk and hang a welcome home banner they hope will be seen."

irrevocable & blurred the sep'rate days
once crossing the Plimsoll line & lesson-dwindled
marches once avid-shared & fiery-cradled
become but stations t'ward historic ends

i want to keep this moment as it balanced
precarious & precious, on the cusp
of something almost ludicrous to grasp
in obviousness, & triumph's spectral ullage

I am swept darkly, fearfully afar
close-captured in a pentacle of beige
under cerulean battlements we lodge
& watch atrocities occurring there

stories cannot contain nor feelings jibe
i only form the prongs of a feathered barb
