POWER

by Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard

We walk into a protected natural reserve   for native Hawai'ians,
a narrow path between  trees  and boulders   with the sound
of the distant surf,   then come upon  a blond woman
in an electric cart.  When she sees  the surprise
on my face, she says, We own this, the ranch
up the mountain.

There is a mirror  where only one  image
flickers  with its own colors  and shades
and there is only  one language  only
one way  to honor  the Creator.

The football player  kneels  during
the national anthem,  kneeling to honor
his soul  to honor  social justice  and the color
of his skin   that too many  disdain.
