dogwhistle

across the desolate green fields and valleys of Europe    
we heard the sound      
     
far louder than a tinnitus      
     
ringing like an air raid siren      
like the sound of a police car      
an ambulance stuck in traffic      
code red on the psych ward      
     
     
it echoed back to Africa and split the ear bone that fuses underwater      
     
     
but we are not domestic dogs.      
     
we have the same canines as you      
we can and will bite back      
     
and as one and as many and as each to each other      
     
we will hunt you out. even as our pricked ears bleed
