White blight
Light sweeping
Across sacred skin
Impersonal hum
Of a drone
Scarring the eyes
Searing the skin
With words:
Eviction and displacement
Behind tinted glass,
Digital colonizers
With eyes that are neither
Half full or half empty look
For vacant space
Back and forth,
Up and down
Cutting across
Our skin and into
Marrow and bone
Our Epitaphs written in
Invisible digital ink
On the steps and walls
And floorboards and
Pots and pans in the
Murals of our bones
Songs
Crying out from
The soil
Not to be seen
In the drone of white
Blight light
Or in
An app
