Ode to Black

I’m Black

Black…Black!

I’m Black Black

Black like the quiet after a gunshot Black

Kevlar Black

Black like the topside of a well cooked rib Black

Sweet Baby Rays Black

Smoked Black

Shadow Black

Black like the sun is out as my body casts itself from a tree Black

Not hanging Black

but hanging Black

Loitering Black

The Black that scurry when me and my homies on the corner and a stranger yell 12 so the whole hood know how to move Black

generational trauma Black

Black like survival

Black like Samuel L. Jackson playing a crackhead after being a crackhead

Black

Black like I look danger in the face Black

Black like own the danger in my face Black

Angel wing Black

Jesus turned water into Henny Black

Yeah?

Yeeeaahhhh I’m that Black

I’m grandpa don’t speak to anyone Black

I’m grandma speak to everyone Black

Rigid Tender Black

melt in ya' mouth Black

Chocolate Black

Charcoal Black

Charred soul Black

Zetsu Black

Amaterasu Black

Black like a burning fire be a sealing fire for the right wound Black

So I’m healing Black

I’m healing, Black

I’m swisha Black

Black and mild

midnight with no moon Black

Black hole Black

I’m absorb all light Black

I’m all encompassing Black

I’m cover everything Black

I’m cover Black

I’m cover everything Black

I’m Everything Black.

Everything

Black.

I’m Everything

Black.

Yeah.
