For Ferguson

The tightly closed fist has no room for light.
The tightly closed fist is unable to reach forward
to let go of the past.
The tightly closed fist can't receive what is given
can't let go of what it doesn't need.
Tightly closed fists can't take the hand of another
can't give or get help.
Enemies come from tightly closed fists.
Loneliness comes from tightly closed fists.
