it was earth like
blended like that
just right
some brown with leche in it
some canela cinnamon
some rustled barb wire
red pennies
some like the maranito ginger
from El Buen Gusto bakery
and then me
negra de africa cafe
almost black
child of the slaves
delivered from a basket
left in the alley
thats what the color
of barrio
looks
like
