When you say “I’m pretty like art”
I’m moved.
Confused
Disturbed
Bothered your eyesight is bad.
Are you seeing what I see every day in the mirror?
Are you?
Do you see the tiny dimples that appear on my BROWN cheeks?
When I smile deeply
Are you seeing the curves the universe gifted me with?
That’s ever so obvious in my favorite PURPLE dress
Do you see the proportional ORANGEs that sit powerfully on my chest?
The luscious full PINK lips
The long slender fingers with the prettiest nails painted RED
The thick short BLACK hair that has a mind of its own
The long slender legs that sit graciously in those GREEN shoes
The SILVER sparkle in my eyes when I’m in love
I could go on
But darling a BLACK woman loving on another
Is beauty in COLORS
Darling, if this isn’t art then nothing is.
I am art.
Art is me.
