A senryu in dedication to the memory of George Floyd, whose tragic death is mourned by us all.


''I Can't Breathe!'': in Memory of George Floyd

“I can't breathe!” he cries,
over and over again.
No use. Dead. By knee!

In the brevity of your text one can read the enormous bravery, frustration, hope for a better life and dignified death. 'i can't breathe' represents all garlands of anguish, represents our cries, represents us and who we are. Nice one, cheers.
