(EDIT: I’m glad such a wide network of people are seeing this!! PLEASE take the time to check out the OP’s work here: https://www.facebook.com/ToriLynn041415 or on twitter and compensate her for her time/expertise, if you are able. THANK YOU VICTORIA ALEXANDER!)

Finally, two powerful poems for this week:
"When I Think of Tamir Rice While Driving" by Reginald Dwayne Betts and "Lines on Love's (Loss*)" by Erica Hunt.
