Sequence (Free verse) by http://mulberryfairy

Martin Luther King, Jr. please don't choose me even though I love you here...and here. If you do you'll die (be lynched)like my last. I'll sift my fingers through your grave of loose dirt and sand plunging my outstretched fingers into your strangely exposed brain tissue feeling the mourning, the horror, the infatuation all at once.

the narrator IS confused and distanced. I think calling him by his full name (MLK, Jr.) has even more of a distancing effect, but I did want to call him Martin and have people not know who Martin was.
