I got a call that one of our clients was shot by police one block from our outreach. Totally forgot to call you back I don’t know the circumstances but no matter what they are it’s not good for any involved. Maybe change can come from it Maybe In the meantime I gotta go or something will blow Somehow somewhere something’s got to heal A street corner resting site If you have a chance you should drive by at night. It is blinding lights like a football field at night. So mean and homeless unfriendly. It was an elderly black couple that have slept there for years. They are gone at dawn. I have brought them Christmas and Thanksgiving meals the last two years. Looks like the same boulders from the trail. Boulders strewn so no one would have room To lay down on the ground the same boulders from the trail Very deliberate with the lights too. It struck me with rage when I saw it in such an age We should not live this way Where on earth are people to sleep? They slept there out of fear of the night and other unhoused. Each slept near one so dear So sad when I saw it A resting place withdrawn Cannot even sleep on the cold hard ground With boulders strewn all around It was an elderly black couple that have slept there for years. They are gone at dawn. Don’t you wish somehow somewhere something could heal? Don’t you wish somehow somewhere something could heal?
