Tune to Love
See beyond,
visual barriers
to the color
of my soul
let not melanin
dictate to us
our barriers,
or scaffolds
we can rise
on shoulders,
rest on hearts,
tuned to love
hear and speak
words that mend,
join, and connect
one to another
before we collide,
rebound and
fall lost in
rapids of color.
