two yellow leaves fell from the tree
I was facing my whole life
in those day slavery had already
been civilized into Edwardian
consumerism and Neo-Platonism
but one still died under the lash
now of the fear of death itself
I just didn’t want to accept it
that human beings would let
this happen over and over
that the older ones who knew
and could say are silenced
with dementia and money
while the young forgivably
are too
close up to see
