They say the Notre Dame is burning.
They say the flames licked the heavens
as if to spite the very god they were built to worship.
I imagine Michael Brown’s cheek felt the same heat
as the asphalt scarred his cheek as...

a cool breeze whispers words
in the scarce moon glow
A silent fawn born only moments ago
