What if Jesus was black as
“in the beginning”
sky gardens,
planting full moons
and souls
and blessings in
Eden and
kosher gall nut ink
on Torah scrolls ?
What if His hands were dark as
blood dried whips
on a cross
where He didn’t ask to be hung?
What if His feet were black
as coffin nails
bursting
out of humanity’s heart
defying
the grave to
steal
His world
kicking
death
in the teeth
with 2 black heels?
What if when He was on the cross
the sky was torn in half
so the world would remember
black skies
“and in the beginning” words?
What if the Word became flesh as
dark as gall nut Torah?
What if Love fell from the heavens like
black checkers
jumping over oppression,
resentment
and X-marks-the-spot power trips?
What if He spoke to the world
through Martin Luther
King-Me
speeches?
What.
If.
Jesus.
Was.
Black?

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by.
I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor.
In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years.
Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly.
Feel free to dig through my buckets…

This should be in print. So I could hold it in my hands, place it on my lap and say “wow” and sip from my glass in deep thought.
