"i stand with"
Palestine
Armenia
indigenous folks
everywhere
does not feel adequate
is it standing
when i have voted
for people who
killed my family?
is it standing
when i go to a single
protest while you
are carpet bombed
with phosphor?
is it standing
when i realized politics
is not made for
someone like me and
i am next?
is it standing
when i am a settler
my indigeneity murdered
thousands of miles away?
is standing
flying across oceans
allowing my body
to ricochet off
the sea
into utopia and
oblivion?
what is standing
if not ableist
jargon that pretends
that i'm doing
anything at all?
i stand
you die
until tomorrow
i die
you stand
