6th September 2019

Torquay 2019
overcast, chill wind
a late display of snapdragons
anong the cornflowers

a funeral
full of white faces
for an African boy.
No charges filed
against anyone
despite the facebook film.
Six men in white hoods
(pillowcases, mainly)
crucify and burn a lad from school
for the crime of being black.
England today
welcome to the Christian Right.
