lyrics

define: constellation

limbs of a bird

the feet of god



I think the first sound I heard was my mother’s heartbeat

it must have been wing-like.



We are listening to Rahat & Mother

says there is barish, rain in this music



the notes speak of water you can’t find in Britain

that you need to cross waves of heat

It sings of the relief of the rain

Feeling of the air opening you say to me

even though we are here,

we can still walk through it



I imagine the rain like I would your heartbeat a home

in scripture it says paradise lies at the feet of your mother



throughout the years

I have broken the road

mended & broken.

Watched it lose its meaning

became the centre of something

sinking. Red the type that lives

on your feet after years of walking.

Red of a snipped wing.



I’m sorry about picking the shells off that jewellery box

your friend made you I thought I could hear the sea,

I wanted to wake it up. Isn’t that the nature of a wave.

Back then I didn’t know the power

of a box is like Pandora

a ribcage of hope.



The canary in the mine

still sings

of a rain in another land



mother tell me

about the time

I was a season a handprint

of a monsoon

& how we are not lost.
