metallic.words (t’afari steede) – anacaona lyrics
anacaona
taino queen
born 1474
warrior, priestess
fighter
from the island once known as
hispaniola
(anacaona lives on in our memories)
warrior, priestess, fighter
poet
i am sunrise
i cannot be captured
golden from my crown to my toes
leaving a trail of fire in my path
don’t you know where you come from?
connected by dust threading sky
they tried to capture our light
but sunrise cannot be captured
sunrise cannot be conquered, cannot be concubine+d
we belong to no man
mixed with brown sugar and truth
pretty like a flowеr with roots like a tree
mind dis+figured, can’t configure thе unity
of a body
split
personality free
designed to unravel the barriers of your black and white mentality
(peaceful, not passive)
cannot be concubine+d
when our reality
is divinely
free
(kindness not weakness)
