#little prayer
Please, Ares, give courage to those who are protesting against racists.
Please, Athena, protect them because they are still fighting for their rights.
Please, Zeus, take care of them, be a shelter for those who need it.
little prayer
“let him find honey
where there was once a slaughter
let him enter the lion’s cage
& find a field of lilacs
let this be the healing
& if not let it be”
—Danez Smith, from Don’t Call Us Dead
