then I heard a poet trouble and say:
I’m a straw man for leftist critique.
—Layli Long Soldier
moment by moment
we are being called into becoming our true selves
as we would like to be remembered by future ancestors
this is a fight to imagine a reality of mutual flourishing
I resist moral terrorism: here, today, now—with all beings—
in order to imagine such a life of collective well being
the moon does not get wet
nor is the water broken
we awaken together
