Heather OC: Week 26 of 208

Murder History

So much of what makes it

Into living history is death.

Battles fought to keep

Patriarchy secure. Men

And their toxic selves -

Seething. Burning houses.

Raping girls,

Boys sometimes, too, I

Suppose. Red runs in the

      Stolen rivers and

They congratulate themselves -

In their importance;

Draw lines on maps to

    Distinguish our

    Worthiness. Make

Plans and decide what

    The future will know.
