This is an image during the coronavirus pandemic that has stuck with me for some time now. I can't get it out of my head, these men posing for the camera as the sieged the Michigan State capitol building, protesting the stay at home orders.
Michigan
The
checkered floor of the capitol
with checkered
men, wide stances,
mouths covered
in homemade masks.
Assault is
not the word to use but rifle
and conceal
and carry. Their second
amendment right
to bring their bodies
full of violence
and red plaid into
this
building and pose for this camera
as if they
could claim this earth
theirs with the power vested
in their
AK-47s and AR-15s.
