"the story of indigo" by Ammu
"the story of indigo" by Ammu
a long time ago
ocean tales hold the story
of countless lives stricken with the cash crop of the world
and while i’m the astigmatic, racialized, genderless contradiction
that bears the pain of what came, is, were, and are
i became indigo
for the disgust you feel
is the love i found
therefore, i found myself; found indigo
and rewrite the tale that stained us all
