african bliss for bohemian mermaids
here you will find:
my mind,
lost in time
linguistic trance-lations of dance,
epic mom-ents
mosquito net placements
and i bet
some cosmic revelations
inspired by
zulu nations
no(w)here
WORLDWIDE | Thursday, 7 June 2007 | Views [739]
i can see my fingerprints still blowing about
on weathered grains of sand
the pressure of my feet continuing to echo
through centuries of solid rock
pressing undiscovered fossils further
into forgetting
i can see my eyes still boucing
off the memories of black children
a foreign shade of blue, blinding the familiar
continuing to ask such simple questions
that exponentially answer themselves
with more mystery
i can see my dreams still dangling
from the starkly skybound branches of a baobab tree
wandering into too many worlds
that have yet to create
a language other than sleep
waiting for my lucid return
so that i may teach them how to interpret
their own
dual nature
we are made of
gravity and goats
of the accidents of our own intuition and the unaccustomed tradition
to dig through the physics and the psychics and the mystic
of our own roots
and i am still tapping the untasteable syrup
from that forest of arid ancestry
where the only thing absent
is my senses
