And in that moment we are infinite*

Anger stretching my jaws wide enough to belt
chants from the deepest corner of my gut

Finding strength in the numbers
Strength in the hands that were raised along with mine
allies becoming my brothers and sisters

Lights glared green, yellow, red, blue as we halted the city
In that moment we were what the city feared
what the city needed wanted and dreamed
all at the same time

Bodies in solidarity finding ourselves in a foggy mist
Screaming through the streets to be seen and heard
and in that moment we were

infinite

forever our memory will be pressed as the newspapers reflect on the protest that demanded that our lives matter.
While some studied, we struggled. together, passionately, some in tears, but all without fear.

in that moment.
