“Holy Father, keep them in your name ...
so that they may be one just as we are one.”
(Gospel, Ascension)

Mystical Rose

Stop talking
‘bout color

white black brown
red or yellow

if you prays
you be all God-colored
which is to say

you be bathed
in the essence of God
who possess

all color

you flow into him
he flow into you

you gonna forget
distinctions
they never did help

but only if you willing
to put up with
a little darkness and pain
