all this heavy happening now

On the door, injustice beats,
beats
I open to let it in—it’s thick, dirty cloud gusts, unavoidably angry through the room,
this ugly
it uncoils my peace, unsettles my scene, blows out my warm
upsets, knocks me down,
down
My heart disturbed
all this pain in one world, all this heavy happening now,
now
this rape, this war, this human selling human,
this ugly
this twelve year old girl, this tear glistening on precious cold cheeks
on the door now she beats,
beats
an unavoidably beautiful face,
 this ugly
all this heavy happening now,
now
all this heavy happening now, to her
