A Country Road Poem by Sunday Fall

A country road

No one was present

Only trees



Sandra Bland was arrested for

Failing to signal a lane change

But to whom?



No one was present



This says something

There was only the police behind her

And the southern sky

And power lines



She was arrested

She was killed

For failing to signal a lane change

But to whom?



No one was present



There was no traffic in the street

Only a single police officer behind her
