Lament for Tyre Nichols
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:
Lament for Tyre Nichols James E Cherry (bio) I heard a Black man cry for his mother today. Another Black man. Just an ordinary day. Listen.
At the corner of Castlegate & Bear Creek it's the same slave block howl after the auctioneer's gavel, southern shrieks
from rope and gasoline, one long moan exiting Cup Foods, rolling down Chicago Avenue South.
Its echo will undoubtably follow and find you next door to yourself or if you have lost your way
home, will demand to know how many lynchings does it take to save my life or that of your own?
How does a Black mother forgive herself for delivering a Black baby boy to the altar of America
except she pluck a handful of sunset from the Memphis horizon, hold on until a light gives birth to itself? [End Page 78]
