This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

The purpose of #poetry is to remind us
how difficult it is to remain just one person,
for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors,
and invisible guests come in and out at will...

only with the hope
that good spirits, not evil ones, choose us for their instrument.

"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there."

I had a poem in the NY Times in Jan. 2017 about the inauguration and I think it's more interesting now than then. Thanks to Nicholas Kristoff for holding a "T***p Poetry Contest. Posting the link without the picture if possible. archive.nytimes.com/kristof.blog...
