Sahra is Not Here

We could sweep it all under the rug,

Add to the dust that never asked to settle.

Like Harriet’s railroad. Nelson's voice. And Park’s seat.

If we do not acknowledge it; it can’t exist.

A sad feat for the the spirits we longed to honor;

A sadder feat for our children we lie to every morning.

We could live better. Maybe.
