SIMPLY BREATHING

BY BEAU BEAUSOLEIL

 

(MAY 29, 2020)

THEY TOLD HIM TO STOP LIVING

IN HIS SKIN

 

THEY TOLD HIM THAT HIS WINGS

WOULD NEVER

GROW BACK

 

BUT EVERY TIME THEY THREW HIM

TO THE GROUND

 

EVERY TIME THEY CRUSHED HIS

BREATH

 

HE ROSE UP AGAIN

IN SPIRIT

AND MEMORY

 

HE ROSE UP ON

STILL ANOTHER OF THE

SEA OF FLAGS

 

THAT COVER THIS COUNTRY

LIKE A SHROUD

FROM COAST

TO COAST.

BEAU BEAUSOLEIL IS A POET AND ACTIVIST (AL-MUTANABBI STREET STARTS
HERE) BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. THIS POEM IS FROM A LIMITED
EDITION PORTFOLIO OF 20 POEMS CALLED, T_HE KILLING OF GEORGE
FLOYD_ (INTERMITTENT PRESS - 2023).
