A Room of My Own: A Wall of Moms Tanka

inspired by this exciting piece of Washington Post news, July 22

streets shrouded
in foggy darkness
a wall of moms
between lines of riot police
and BLM protesters (FYI: BLM stands for Black Lives Matter)

Note: The tanka is a sequel to the following poem:

the White House
silhouetted against the sunset —
with her fist up
while facing lines of riot police
a black woman takes a knee
