it’s hours after

x

what do I really want to say

that I wish it hadn’t happened

that I wish ashli babbitt

hadn’t been shot and killed

x

that I wish invaders hadn’t taken over

the senate chamber, though

maybe politicians will think

twice about the room

in which they serve

x

maybe many people will think twice

I want to pray

mercy for the misguided

to be specific, I’ll need

an angel to point out everyone for me
