"Born Into"
Location
A conflict centuries old
The face, aboriginal
Indigenous
And
Yet
I realize as the moon kisses
The ocean and the dog
Reminisces over
January
That
I did wake up, like this,
Or that a man
Both white
And black
And seaching for the medium
Between beatings and
Boycotts
I did wake up, like this
But i never carry this
Into the eveneing
Where I lay
Wondering
My flaw
The medium
Between black
And white, between the
White father and the black mother
A medium not so uncommon
As the moon kisses ocean
Over and over again
My flaws, over
And over
Again.
