Elijah Doughty

beating
boy until becoming
black

blue
as bight

you manage
to turn
wheel

into tree
with which
to hang
future

elijah
must have looked
up witnessing
history hold him
until last breath

beautiful boy
transformed
end
to
beginning

walk away
from elijah

transmute
into trunk

creatures
will not conceal
crime

cry
centuries

cry centuries

cry for
centuries

cry
