As a Russian background family immigrant finds it difficult to accept.
As an American – proud to be.
As a Mexican – proud to be born.
Do I have three A’s? In Spanish “3 as number three Aces” …
Schererazade, poem in Russian with perhaps Latin roots – “Child of the city”
A crimson heart beneath the soil,
A beet, so vibrant, rich, and whole,
From earthy depths, its color calls,
A ruby gem, that brightly falls.
Beets salad with almond and balsamic vinegar

A lady worn is different in the hot spice hot- pepper-color red.
Brilliant as the shine of an ocean in the month of the May sun.
