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

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
