blue-black on black (for Tyre Nichols)

they don’t

have to wonder why

any

more.

five brazen blue-black brothers

beat

down

another black mother's sun

beyond senseless to another same old American

death.

could have been

one

of them caught

out of

"protect and serve" uniform.

viral white supremacy in

black

face.

black self-loathing

in brute blue

hate.
