Qdoh
I will put your name in a tattoo
On the skin just above my ankle
A contrast of a dark powerful name callibrated over yellow African skin
It will be a deep but painful reminder
That wherever my legs carry me to,
whatever people I meet
You will always be with me-
In a place where you are not readily visible to the world ,
but obvious to me.
I will put your name in a tattoo-a reminder that opposites can deeply attract
But not deep enough to stay
Not deep enough to touch bone
Just like a tattoo
