Context (Day 922)


out there
   context matters
deciding whether or not 
   we are going to remain 
free 
investigating how we can 
   get there 
      from here
imagining our roles 
   going forward 
as one 
   concerned   we envision 
hope 
going quietly
   into that good night
      having lost her voice
         (and her choice)
he told us
   who exactly 
      directed the election 
but who cares right?  
they say 
a democracy should 
   feel conflicted 
      about contesting results
the impact   devastation
so we stand 
   down   and look away 
      instead
of floating the idea 
   of integrity   right now
