Evil is incremental
One bullet after another
And after another
And after another

I continue reading Iain McGilchrist's
"The Master [Mistress] and his [her] Emissary,"
a retelling of many RightWing dominant
and LeftWing repressed and suppressed events

A hint of blush
‘pon the tips
Of leaves still lush
As lover’s lips

A breeze that sighs
As if t’was tired
Of mid-Summer highs

To clothes and hair

A dusk that darkles

Lightning flashed as I witness
Drawn down from blacken purple skies
