the year of two thousand sixteen in signs
(1) There’s a sign
it says
HANG THE REPIST
it means
the small flame of our candle
simply melts white wax
as we walk streets
by painted temples
same as he did
when he took the child
she looking for rainbow puddles
friends to play with, no time for prayers
only just old enough to say
four years of coaxing consonants to say
I want to go home now.
Her fractured body found car park cold
family loudly told, we will find them we will.
They don’t.
