lauren beukes - zoo city, 18 (part 3) lyrics
“i stopped fighting it,” dumisani shrugs. “it’s not so different, the statistical -n-lysis, the number-crunching.. it’s just the same with the bones. it’s knowing how to read them. like here, you see.” he turns over a white sh-ll that has landed on one of the dominoes. it’s the chipped tile, a blank and a three, with one dot dissected by the break
“now, this, this is bad luck. and here as well,” he says, indicating the triangulation of the troll, the bullet and the broken domino.”very bad. there is a shadow on you.”
“trust me, i noticed.” sloth huffs, his breath hot against my ear. but really, i mean the undertow. the inevitability of it is crushing. sometimes i wake up in the night struggling to breathe, and my chest feels as crumpled as a car wreck. maybe that’s all your talent is for, a distraction to keep you preoccupied until the blackness comes rushing in
“and here?” the sangoma nudges a fan-shaped sh-ll with red striations with his finger. he seems impressed. “whoo! girl, either you have been messing with a very bad umthakathi or you’re just a magnet for imoya emibi. i don’t know if a chicken’s going to do any good here. we might need a bull for this.”
“i’m not really interested in sacrificing chickens or cows or witches or evil spirits or shadows. it’s very simple. i’m looking for someone.”
