Slack-Jaw

Commentary on repetitive history

By Abigail Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

And those who remained would go on to say

“The undeniable terribleness that exists between love and law.”

Grown sick as they jot down the horrors they saw

They say as their children go slack-jaw

Scrubbing their hands raw

Pleading to the above

To send a flood 

Mourning their choice to play God
