Choke
Fascist vines entwine the tree gripping
it so tightly that it can't breath tree
leaves & vine leaves fight for dominance
I watch this killing helplessly as it
goes on across the fence in someone
else's yard shadows increasing
the horror of watching a murder from
a window the screams are silent
that fill the air only certain beings can
hear them beings with unwaxed
ears & twelve pitches available it is
not the orchestra you might conjure
but it is a quartet of wood instruments
with strings choking choking the
wood creating a sound unheard before
silence is the evil sound that does
not announce this lynching to the world
that goes about its usual day not
disturbed by the news that is far away
