The Color Of Grassroots *in barrio observation by Diana Lucas-joe


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
