The vote is precious. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society, and we must use it.
~John Lewis (1940-2020)
Votes are voices cast
Upon excruciating water
Splashed like dark oval notes
In bottles like ships illustrating
Hope thrown or sent
Out to sea
See power
Full votes cast one
By one faces circulate in
flowing lines — post offices
Polling places voices waiting
To count
Choices drawn drenched
Under a midnight sun
Say it you count you
Matter democracy saturating
Unshiny wet ballots floating
Soaked precious truth
Depth liberty history death
one voice one vote cast
In the booth adding up who
Will sit in the Oval
Clearly this matters
So completely no way
To be discreet
Fill the oval bubble with
Black ink black bodies
Count
