Dévoiler

By Kellen M. Parham

D?voiler is a collection of poetry reflecting Kellen's journey dealing with grief, depression, fear, and identity as a black man, husband, father, and son in America. As the translation of the title suggests, this book unveils the author's hidden truths - many of which he's dealt with in silence. Not only has this book served as a vessel of healing, but as a courageous step out of the shadows and into the light for the world to see the real him.

In These Hands (God is Blackness)

If I held the whole Earth in these hands
And promised to keep it safe -
Would you still shoot me dead in the streets
'Cause there's blackness in your space?

If I wore the infinite galaxies around my neck
Consisting of all sparkling specks -
Would you still rob me of all life
And leave me hanging in distress?

If I've sworn to you
With one hand held on my Book of Truth -
Would you still not believe
In all of these miracles you see?

Are my words alone
Not enough proof?

That I am human too
