PROUDLY RED AND BLACK
For years they were my two favorite colors; attached to me closely like skin.
Deeply I knew it all along, my faith, my ancestry.
A darker darkness with high cheekbones.
Rhythmic drumming in my dreams.
Songs around a never ending fire.
Knowledge of things before they happen.
Soul of ancient wisdom I’ve been cloaked in. Writer, Teacher, Friend, Warrior.
I am what happens when two strengths become one.
I am proudly red and black.
