Black Lives Matter

I am posting this here, because I know Bill would want me to. True, it's been a decade since he's died, but I still know his heart.

I've seen a lot of well-meaning white and non-Black people preaching truths a breath too early, calling light to their experiences in hate and struggle, begging for peace, supporting the "good" among the "bad apples" and decrying financial and structural loss.

Whiskey boy, ruby boy.

1. It has been twenty seven days since I last let the    hawk-eyed man into my head, ninety four hours    since I last drank myself to sleep, and thirty two    minutes since I last kept my mother from the truth.    Tonight, she still thinks I have hope, but it may be    the last time she believes I'm still whole. i. Last night, I dreamt of the boy next door, the gun    in his drawer, the whiskey under his bed, the hate    in his eyes when he drags me out of bed to tell me    I've ruined another story, I've fanned another flame.    This boy does not know my mother, but I suspect    they would get along quite wel
