Skin:

Pigment is culture.

Sweat rains down, it's our ocean.

Bleach nurture light, why?

Bloody History:

Make the folklore sing

with slashes of dying peace.

Scars are cords of rights.

Tattoos:

Ink stories on flesh;

scared of waking human art.

Needles feed the blood.

Cigarettes:

Lungs expand with smoke.

Red sparks eat weeds, burn fingers.

Lips exhale grey death...
