It's been 200 days since Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire. In solidarity and unwavering resistance, @MassReview offers a poem by me: "Abecedarian for those who burn." With thanks to @LatuffCartoons, @erikmbaker, @nplusonemag, @madhoun95, @berningman16.

Mawungangidluli, Jesu,
Yizw amazwi am'
Lapho ubusis' abanye
Ngibusise nam'
Jesu, Jesu, yizw' amazwi am'
Lapho ubabiz' abanye
Mawungizwe nam'. 🙏🏽
-Hosanna 175
(isiZulu rendition of Se mphete, uen’a ratehang)
•May the grace of God be with you. Have a blessed day.•
Seli la ka, mponesetse tsela
Ke tsamaee
Ho lefifi, hape ho sebaka
Ntsamaise!
Ha u le teng, ha ke batle tsebo
Ea ntho tsohle, uena,u ntekane
Khale ke ne ke sa u lakatse
Ka ithata
Ke ne ke re ke ‘na ea bohlale
Ka itšepa
Empa joale ke ntse ke itšaba
Se hopole boikhantšo joa ka!🙏🏽
