written in response to the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of the Inciter-in-Chief, Donald Trump
cracks
in the window
of the House chamber
blood stains
down the central aisle
lines of policemen
before the Capitol
an honor guard
carries an urn up the steps
to rest in the Rotunda
ensconced
at Mar-a-Lago
the Loser-in-Chief
doomscrolls through news
of his impeachment trial
blindfolded Justice
holds her scales and sword
in morning chill
Trump fans and foes shouting
take back OUR country
FYI: Trump legacy: Personal responsibility is for suckers and GOP means "Grievances On Parade,"Jill Lawrence, USA Today, Feb. 8: Trump's Senate impeachment trial and fake victims Josh Hawley and Marjorie Taylor Greene symbolize the Republican descent into whiny entitlement.

each word I write
about the Loser-in-Chief
morphs into red spikes ...
my quarantined mind mismatched
with the mouth of my Muse
