Genovese
I wasn't there to watch you die.
I was too young, born a thousand
Miles away, years after.
I like to think I would have
Called the police.
I like to think I would have been
The brave one.
Or maybe, the human one.
Probably not.
I bet I would be like the rest.
If they had filmed your death,
I would watch it,
Over and over again, as a tribute, perhaps.
I would keep you alive in technicolour
Let your skin glow and your blood
Stay warm.
You would live in my eyes,
Forever in your last moments.
I love you, Kitty Genovese.
