metallic.words (t'afari steede) - her-ricane lyrics
(you say, you say, you
don’t feel the same, we
still play these games, still
caught in the waves i’m
trying to find a
way off this ride but
these seasons won’t change
we just
hurricanes)
my truth ain’t
dipped
in shallow breeze
your cruise ship docked on coral reefs
still bleeding
i biting history
in salted pieces
for you
to swallow
weapon is walcott’s flawless english
won’t parade my nation language
dis ain’t skin, t++th, business
“mother sally selling cane juice!
mother sally selling fruits!”
mother sally on a boat, and de ropes cut loose
still stuck on de shore
of history’s surface:
paradise sipping
rum punch
paradise sunbathing
paradise is purgatory
so picture perfect
your paradise
my pen, knife
“leh we dance on de boat if it feel right
kiss in de sun ‘cause it feel nice
cahn remember yuh name
in de midst uh de swaying
a stone’s throw in de archipelago”
your paradise
my pen, knife
carving identity
since de first slave ships came:
don’t you know?
we still carry your last names
dis ain’t no winter wonderland
all we know are
hurricanes
