My ancestors experience wit me.
They twerk at the roof of the Uber
as I’m pulling up past due to the birthday party.
They gasoline me complete tank and
yas me within the replicate
as I summon them out of me with
my mascara wands and glitter and
each time I draw my eyes on
Nana you inspire me
to stay my chin lifted upwards,
my eyes filling up with stars.

I do know I stroll on
salt blood water tears.
I do know the earth has been
overwhelmed down and made gangsta
however from time to time, e hoas,
I simply wish to birthday party.

My ancestors experience wit me.
Don’t inform me what they might do.
I do know them higher than you.

I sat within the lap of my great-grandmother
till the flax of her couldn’t take it.
So she unraveled herself and
wrapped round me like a blanket
and at her contact the privilege of me
was once a headrush as I remembered
making attire out of sugar packets,
my bro getting blown up in Forlì,
my grandfather honored beneath one tree
although he pressured himself into our bloodline
after which deserted me and me and me.
My mom announcing cross
marry a white guy
you deserve higher
so I left
the bone leftovers of house
realizing that during two generations I’d be referred to as
an Oreo and my tooth painted into pink brick,
two mouthfuls of pink roots and boiling water
for dinner, for just about each dinner, so
once I’m out with my mans consuming
a dear hunk of no matter
my ancestors and I percentage
the similar style and you’ll see it
in our smile so forceful it splits
the space-time continuum.
Bizarre flex I do know. They taught me that
all the universe is malleable and mine to mould.

Let me mould it of their symbol.

My ancestors experience wit me.
Don’t you dare inform me what they might do.
I do know them method higher than you.

I’ve identified them
since they have been a 5-year-old
who was once instructed on her first day
she couldn’t play as a result of
she wasn’t the proper colour
however the different children didn’t know
that she was once if truth be told a witch,
a right away descendant
of tohunga and had
transformative powers
and in that example
their hex become a spell
and it modified her into
an immortal factor,
a jaw, a whale, a knot
constituted of her grandmother’s hair,
and in that second
she discovered that lifestyles
was once now not going to be honest
however it might be
ferocious and forming
if she surrendered herself
to the brown, crying, clay.
She knew that sooner or later
she would make one thing,
puoro, gourd, vessel, frame
of water inconceivable sufficient
to hold all of them.

My ancestors experience wit me.
Don’t inform me wtf they might do.
I do know them method higher than you
and I do know the wild
number of issues
they needed to do
to get me right here,
some voluntary,
some pressured,
now not they all
tika or textbook,
postcard or beautiful,
however God!
Aren’t you infatuated
with the nerve they’d
to consider me
and make it occur?
You’ll’t inform me that
my lifestyles isn’t the rest
however the lifestyles of our previous magic,
our previous techniques, our bloodlines,
our agree with within the river,
after we first hopped in that
souped-up waka
and appeared up on the stars like
u were given me? And so they mentioned
onerous
so now

I’m more difficult than a scrum of mountains.
I’m present like I’m water.
I whip just like the wgtn wind and
I’m warmer than the solar.

And my ancestors experience wit me
like dawgs. Once I whistle
they run and run and run.
