What is it like to be a Brown, Indigenous Christian
It’s build that wall or you can’t be conservative
Their judgement is normative
To be a democrat you can’t have your own opinions

my grandmother prays
to a man pale enough
for a public to adore
she tells me,
You become obsessedwith papaya soap.12 years old.
Pampaputi,they say.for your armpits.for your elbows.for your knees.for your…body.
I will not describe my culture,
With romantic language,
Showcasing the beauty of our brides,
Adorned in striking crimson,
Or the spiritual resting places,
That spread themselves accross the lands,
