(from a letter mailed out to people)

Desert sand   hushes
everything       machine

gunbursts   human shaped
screams     muffled with

hard hands    over faces
wild eyes       become glazed

red puddles   in disappearing
ink signed     on documents

meekly    chastising
monster   crime

desert sand    hushes
machine         mothers

everything

—write    demand action
