a lynching.
The bland faces of men who watch
a Christ go up in flames, smiling,
as if he were a hooked

a halo
burns out of him.

One man stands with his hand on his hip,
another with his arm
slung over the shoulder of a friend,
as if this moment were large enough
to hold affection. — Toi Derricotte
