An Illustration for the poem Sidewalk Chalk by Lyn Patterson.
SIDEWALK CHALK
All summer long
little ones write
messages of optimism
in chalk, to decorate
the sidewalks
But,
no one in Jingletown
writes about
black bodies
and the concrete
is so very silent
for black lives
unless our
silhouettes paint
the pavement with
white outlines
AD Lauren Debono-Elliot
