You are a capital letter and a full stop. My mind is drawn to you, you claim me with few words and a silence I never forget.
I cannot love a man with blue eyes I jest. To dilute my diluted genes - A crime against my blackness. I am a product of generations of bleaching, breeding the colour away. Nine out of nine attempts whitest of white skin blackest of black eyes. These pools of coal would never shrink down. I want my child to have what I was denied.
Wide eyed and tight lipped. Waiting for you.
