Ghazal: Like a Prayer

We cry out for peace like a prayer.
We yank weeds on our knees like a prayer.

Rays crisp Renée’s pepper plants to umber;
sprouts speak their final pleas like a prayer.

Political Action

Every time it snows, she walks twelve blocks
and makes a snow angel in front of the Supreme Court
for her son who was shot and killed
two blocks away seven years ago by a boy
who was shot and killed three weeks later.
