MONOCHROME
(8/29/19)
I say God
they think
Christian
I say Yahweh
they see
a Jew
I say Allah
they search
for signs
of Islam
I say Great Spirit
and they
wonder
at my native
roots
they feel
compelled
to paint me
from a religious
palette
when there
is no need
to tarnish
the canvas
of The Divine
to mottle
the simplicity
of being
