Rainbow tacks pierce my sins, there is no end
To tribunal bleeding, pinned to the wall,
Like a calendared skin, a dividend
Of appropriation, beyond recall.

Rainbow tears price my mind, while compounding
The futured days, accounted and recached
Within, adjudicated, awaiting
Past presentations, asphyxiated

By weight of debates of justice. Rainbow
Fears of mindful pride cannot hide the sum
Of collated anticipation. Slow
The growth of colored interest to become

Fortune’s tally of assets Don’t conceal
Your Rainbow wealth, add substance to the deal.
