I will bring to you my pink,
and the spring in my step,
and the lilt of my tongue,
color and tint the white
that surrounds you as
unknowing you pick up
the dark of the pain,
and the pain of the black,
and the brown, and the other.
Not living alone in what is familiar,
I have let the white and the brown
the black and the blue
seep into paint my innards, too.
