Inspired by Edwidge Danticat's, "The Dew Breaker".

I am violent speaking over peace. I help those who love me weep as joy grows too remotely possible. I am always angry without cause for love. I lie when truth feels too accessible, intimate. I kill innocent life to decompose curiously decadent death. I evil in ecological despair as I might live in more patient ecopolitical faith.
