Malcolm X - a Tanka

by kathrynehigheagle

 

 

 

          ghet shades

          princely blues hues

          culture frames divide

          chromas, genders

          even senses     

        

 

                             X

                                          

           

                         Malcolm Little

                         born to roll up

                         pot-holed hills

                         tranforms to

                         variable X
