i write this is for the prayers and the believers,
the ones with irrefutable proof that face value
isn’t nearly as genuine as six feet of depth,
the ones that see the easy route and still
decide to choose the winding road less traveled,
not as yearned but giving in lessons
embedded in the events of the book of life
this is for the dry eyes not easily wet but
aged evident by wrinkled skin
brought on by the exploration of love and understanding
even in the face of despair, eradication and erasure
i write this for yous all
my reflection of skin color
yous all,
my sister shades of fawn and burnt umber
my father shades of coffee and sienna
my brother shades of bronze and cocoa
my mother shades of chocolate and ebony
i write, i write, i write....
for even in the aftermath of extinction,
we are immortalized
