You ask me to

Think of color and pride

I think skin

Skin

Brown burnt onion fields

Generations of brown

Bodies mixed in raids and gossip

Gossip pride and color and

You get circles

In shades of perpetual

Brown

Brown

Skin

Is it enough?

Would you prefer darker?

Enough!

Enough about color

Hablame en la lengua

Lengua de vaca

Tacos

Cilantro

Limon

Salsa verde y roja

Son mis colores
