Metapolitical
Love means going slower
not just doing it for fun
or profit but for something
deeper
and then, not getting stuck in
that well either
but being in earth, of earth,
for earth
and her people. I would tell
the officer of death, “Breathe.”
Because not breathing
we all forget and get lost
in the shuffle of deck chairs
the stuff of conventional politics
and if rescued by pirates,
forgetting to breathe again
even after the rape,
even when there is nothing
left but slavery
we hope that in 144 years
we can be president
