lyrics

A friend

I found me
Sinking in a university lecture hall
Feeling all momma I made it
All hands raised
Eagerly submissive
Begging for a seat at a table I set
Who lent me to you anyway?
Was it my mother?
Naw
Was it the back door?
Did you arrive on a night when we were flying with each other in our sleep
Did you pretend you were the wind
How many scriptures did it take to bewitch us
To smother under your wing
Where is your home
Can you point to it on a map with a bloodless finger
Say, This is where we the shot the Healer
The Umi and child
The Descendants of the gold complected with Sun for feet!
Oh, the pain of being a surrogate to some trifling dog
