NECESSARY TO DENY
couldn’t change the world
so redrew the map
found myself
choirs within choirs
and so preaching
to all of them
turned
the globe upside down
to deconstruct,
decolonize,
reverse the
missionary position
strew the land with
ever-fresh amendment
hoping
(about to launch-pad
to the firmament) find
in those old runes
truth
necessary to deny
