I am as red as the tide tingles off your tongue letting it lick your ankles in the softness of a new moon

My culture is of a burnt thigh, that’s why we’re Sicangu

Sometimes I forget where home is

I could drive the 2 blocks but still be a 1,000 miles from home

Sometimes I’m white, sometimes I’m not

Sometimes I’m red, sometimes I’m not

I think sometimes circles aren’t coherent, like the ones we have to run in
