The Skin Between Us
When you said I do,
I remembered your first hug
-held firm in soft skin.
She sat at her desk,
Her classmates looking away
-how to explain burns?
As he polished shoes,
Bugs festered in sagging skin
-homeless in Rio.
Sheriff standing guard,
Walter drank from the fountain
-not for Whites Only.

From the slave galleys,
To cotton fields and Jim Crow
