Now, I Wear Yellow

A Black woman in yellow!

A star on the street.

A dark, Black woman yellow?

Stop to stare and say, “saaaaaawweeeeeeeet”

A Black woman in yellow!

A color match made to meet.

For years, I shyed away from a closet of anything yellow. I didn’t want to draw anymore attention to the hue of my skin so I hid behind neutral tones, greys, and blacks. Until a friend in college told me how my skin glowed in yellow.

Now I jump to wear yellow for the little girl afraid to.

A dark Black woman in yellow is a dauntless act of allowing two colors meant for one another to meet as much as they can.

A Black woman in yellow!

Like sweet music from a swinging band.
