cinammon skin

walking down the street
men stare and wink
dressed in leather
a blouse of pink
her hair flowing
way down her back
cinammon skin
she just has the knack
a mind that keeps up
with all the day’s events
never has to worry
about her bills or her rent
knows all the buttons
to push every day
a life of sweet roses
wouldn’t be any other way
her daddy is black
her mama is white
family so close
all knit together tight
they gave her confidence
that made her succeed
a mixture turned cinammon
beautiful indeed

    Lovely Sally, I truly enjoyed the notion of unification here,
    almost as if she were the personification of Yin and Yang.
