i am a black man smooth skin of brown soft hair of ebony ivory sliver of a smile from an island green on limestone white and red clay surf’s blue sheen golden sand and sun memories of laughter and fun i am a black man now in a land of heart thumping fear when i see the lights in the rear hands in sight freeze don’t fight resist the urge for flight what is the color of fear? the shade of belonging? feeling blue they do not see my value forgiveness is pink i think embracing myself until the sickly slick sludge of unworthiness and self-hatred dissipates into warm hue i choose love i am a black man
