Yesterday

 Yesterday

Yesterday I went to a rally

that felt like a punk show.

 

Yesterday a nearly 50 year

constitutional right was overturned,

and we lost our rights

to bodily autonomy.

 

Yesterday I joined

a quickly organized march

to show disgust, abhorrence,

and ultimately strength.

And I felt the anger in,

and the solidarity between,

my fellow protesters.

 

We will not go gentle

into the night.

We will rage against

the dying of the light.
