Me, my sister, and Suheir Hammad's words
break (for love)
heavy breathing drum machines
west banked sisters hold each curly heads ducked ducked loose
bullets tight soldiers loz eyed oranges in blood explosion of hair
the weary shoulder sacred
the pulsing wrist sacred
the clasped hand temple
the smoking chest temple
sister holy fly sister holy
terra material prima wa an lapis azure flame wa scarlet star ana mud
wa huddled into shelters wa centers off balance bastana vision wa
epiphany
zooted wa cased
air yo dynamic
w’ana mashi layale sawah
drum skin stretched far
rayah when my sapphire dusted dream static supreme
dream
crashed bombs everyone around me
dream
sash green wa gold coins surround me
dream
flash dear god flood within me
tremor moon seas moan treble please sing trouble keys
