Pigmentation

While floating dimensions—this life, to see for deathness; the value changed,
to filter through darkness, and touch for hearts. Something died, gasping for
breath, a bit alive; where something flourished, a bit for dead, a lux of breathing.
We came to conquer, soaring through lands, to tame the savage; and that to
live, the vexation of life, fully condemned; in which for us, a fleet of mulattoes,
confused and writhing. It’s gentle this dearth, to knit a nation, where ours is
corrupted; and why for hate, to strap confliction, to paint the brighter skin. I’ve

vicious, for most content, to see us perish; and breaking off, a myth of hell, ten
tiers a prison; for life is shackles, to see your face, a village discontent; and

a neighbor, to speak against it; in which is tears, to know not the source, a
rootless man. I die this panic, to have never lived, feuding through heritage;
and thus to differ, to flit and flee, skipping through rainbows; for times are
crooked, a verse to center—from Ecclesiastes; and venom is death, to clench a
friend, and die the unaccepted. I speak to cherish, to point out death, where
many have fallin’; whereat is potential, to voice the chaos, to finally break clear;
else for turmoil, to hate for design, and controlled unknowingly.
