After "Spiritrial" His Rhythm in My Body, His Words Still Echo
DS Hearn

Coming into this space from the space of the work
the work of another on being in his body
in his body and subject to color blind obviously not
a body held and controlled or attempt to control
but the heart and the mind say
no
color of his skin determines impressions
from outside
assumptions of intent or possible action not depedent
on reality because they are not
color blind
heat of a truth in his body in his words
his activism born of survival being pushed down
being pushed away being swung by the gut
being in the moment when trickling spiritual senses
smile pull him in when survival says
smile and be the good one
no
be good and be true
his truth
speak it
