lyrics
See grandmother sew in patterns
Feel the fabric fall in waves
Trace her fingers, feel your bloodline
Old palm readers, whisper in my veins
I inherit saffron riches
I inherit pools of pain
See grandfather on the shoreline
Sing to his plants in the haze
We used to move
Like the water from which we came
Rains and grains ago
Wind and waves ago
We used to dance
As the land has a heart of her own
Seas and seeds ago
Wild and weeds ago
Oh, topography
Like terrain on the top of my thumb
Like the song it unfolds from my tongue
Speak the hills
Oh, braided relation
From the crinkling eyes of my kin
To the chlorophyll caught in my skin
Sing the grass
And such lush abundance
Like falling asleep in your arms
Like a goldenrod crown on your heart
And I’m filled
With ancient medicine
From mortar and pestle and flame
I mean wisdom I’m learning to name
In my hands
We used to move
Like the water from which we came
Rains and grains ago
Wind and waves ago
We used to dance
As the land has a heart of her own
Seas and seeds ago
Wild and weeds ago
