I know how to wrap my hair in a scarf, black and abloom
With fuchsias and call myself my own grandmother.
I know there are a thousand names for God
Bound around tongues
And a thousand ways to say my name
In all the languages I have longed for,
From the places I have tried to call home.
I know I am a guest unsought in a stolen
Guest house and the refugee
Who lives on in my blood took shelter built
From an occupier's dream of home. I know
This is not a prayer to be spoken lightly.
I know my frame remains a visitor, provisional
And the God alive in my body took shelter built
From an ad exec's imagination of a woman
And this Limitless is demolishing
And rebuilding her. I know when the Sacred
Asks her to leave she will have to listen. I know
When the Sacred asks her to leave she will have to listen.
I know I am already an ancestor and it's time
To act accordingly. Somewhere, the future
Is remembering me.
I know how to wrap my hair in a scarf, black and abloom

And a thousand ways to say my name
In all the languages I have longed for,
From the places I have tried to call home.
I know I am a guest unsought in a stolen
Guest house and the refugee
Who lives on in my blood took shelter built
From an occupier's dream of home. I know
This is not a prayer to be spoken lightly.
I know my frame remains a visitor, provisional
And the God alive in my body took shelter built
