Not enough words

there is not enough room to spell out

on poster board

what needs to be shouted

or chanted

no clever phrase for

how I am frightened for my children

and terrified for their future.

no foxtrot delta tango

or foxglove daisy tulip

fucks anyone hard enough to care

but here I am

waving a sign

with nothing on it

because I have too much to tell

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?
