the winter night he saw the huddled mother
nursing her baby against the bakeryâs front steps
long after the crowds had gone. His own motherâs
ghost urged him out in the frozen wind
to offer her the last brown roll of bread.

though still, as the snow fell, her child nursed desperately,
determined that this last sweet thing would last the night.
Edenton, North Carolina, 1968
I was raped twice, once by the perpetrator and
once by the state of North Carolina.
âELAINE RIDDICK, 2012
