Leaky emails scream, “Ninguna sanción, sin asistencia!” to bigotry, to persecution.

The roiling heat hands out third party revolutions like popsicles.

Now it’s just spring cleaning all over again.

We stopped collecting the dove so long ago, the dove is dust face-down, speaking, “mano a la boca,” to the unjust dust.

WHAT DOVE?!

The dove that’s too fast to fly.

The hanging dove reminder.

The branches’ penchant love dove.

The empty outline dove from our youth.

The dove that cannot be cracked.

The spring dove, the summer dove, the poster dove above us.

The dove you cannot miss.
