“Colors”
I am not only one color
like they want me to be.
I carry red —
the blood of my people
spilled without a name.
I carry black —
the nights
when no door opened for us.
I carry yellow —
like the sun
that still finds us on the road.
And blue —
the sky
that never asked who we are.
Do not call me one color.
I am all of them.
And still not enough
for your world.
