MELANIN AND SUN
I met a girl in black cotton top and blue jeans
Her curly hair danced windward
her bare feet kissed earth.
In a beach park —
she was in a sea of children and
her skin shimmered under noontide sun.
The calm blue she wore was tight
—It revealed her curvature.
I walked to her and i said hello and uttered
“black radiates more heat to your body”
but why do you wear?
she said it is the color of her skin
And her best color.
The blue is the color of ether’s visible floor
—the blue sky of Venice.
What she said made me asked her for her time
“may we meet another day”
I really want to know people that see
Themselves as art.
Melanin and sun and all
See how i fell.
I want to know you more dear fair heart
In a quiet night with soft breeze
by food and candles and
To birth goodbyes with a Peck of crimson lips
Under moon halo.
