“The Scarlet Alphabet”

We are waiting
Now
Waiting for the revolution
Which will be retaliatory and bloody
After so many lain slain
Within garish neon lights and street signs
Inundating our mountain valleys and our
Nervous city streets —
We hate,
Because to
Lower ourselves
To a reality of those streets,
We know,
Is non-literary gristle making.
