right hand pointing

Corey Mesler

            for Jennifer Bridges, 5/5/70 - 7/8/15

The newspaper brings some good

news. Hearts of hate have been, in

places, routed. The White House

wears a rainbow like a jaunty cape.

Symbols, as powerful as any poison,

are unraveling. This summer, though

long and overly incommodious,

will end. But Jennifer will come no more.
