to be formed in your image
an image of pain, grief, lack
of limbs, etched backs, silent
injuries born from chromosomal
mistakes – these are our fate
to say man in his state of adam
is formed in God’s image is to
falsify our God – look around
not white, not black, not yellow
no blue, green, hazel, or brown
can encompass our Lord’s figure
it is wrong, plain wrong my beloved
