Reading about this tragic incident in Minneapolis to find out some more about Renée Good, the woman who lost her life in yesterday’s ICE incident. Putting all politics aside, it is very sad to lose any innocent life, whether that of a parent, poet, writer, or musician. Renée Good was all four.

iii. Blonde
Her head-weak thoughts that once eagerly gave way
to looks that leapt sure from eye to brain and into heart,
Weaving unconscious promises of love,
Are now thrust outward, dangerously heard from lips to air.
And he who has watched one world and loved it all,
Star-struck with blindness, an ensnared example for pity,
With feeble hopes of attracting a returning glance,
now listens with his ear to the rambling noise.
