    Black Man Walking

    Amaya Nicely

    After all these years,


    How long do you stand there?
    Exhausted and damning
    The news people and other followers anticipate
    A quick guilty verdict
    Nothing’s wrong…
    Something’s wrong.
    What’s wrong?
    No one has seen him
    No one has called
    The producer is quiet.
    “I have your next thing!”
    “He disappeared?”
    “They took him.”
    Guilty
    Quiet.
    How long do you stand there?
    After all these years
