Naked

A piece written. A response to the visual piece by Kobena Ampofo (@mnml_plus). Thanks to Gold Host for publishing and the opportunity to express. This was and is part of an ongoing exhibition entitled 'BODY'. Excerpt. A child. A boy. The linear journey of the son of man. Flesh adorned. Body adored. The sightings of different hues. The beauty of the earth’s tapestry subdued. My garments instigate a threat. Hold on. I am no threat. Don’t shoot. My clothing layers to come off. Don't shoot. My hands are up. My shades chucked. My durag unwrapped. For the full poem, please see Gold Host recent post https://www.goldhost.world/post/body-response-patrick-ofosu and the 'BODY' exhibit.
