Howard-Nason Alley
Small
stretch of land…
Pathway
leading back and forward
into our history…
Small artery
connecting
opposite points of view,
political standings
tarnished and kindled anew
in a time
where what is mine
is yours
and the line between
holds
the waking
as the land
sighs
with the pain
of speaking
and the relief
of knowing
freedom.
