Beautiful -​(​Kali's Garland)

from Skin & feathers by Avital Raz

lyrics

Another one left me this Friday evening
I waved goodbye and thought,
Here's another skull for Kali's garland.
She stands on the heart of her lover
I wear my heart on my sleeve.

All this sweat
All these tears
All this falling in love, falling from grace
At least occasionally I get a song out of it
Maybe one day I'll make some money...

God, give me a heart to stand on
God, make my feet stop faltering
God, give me a heart that can take my weight.
He lies in her path and he stops her from destroying everything
He stares up at his black beloved in ecstasy.

Another one left me this Friday evening
I waved goodbye and thought,
Here's another skull for Kali's garland.
She stands on the heart of her lover
I wear my heart on my sleeve.

All this sperm
All this blood
All this falling in love, falling from grace
At least occasionally I get a song out of it
Maybe one day I'll make some money...

I am black
I am beautiful (daughters of Jerusalem)
By now I am black and blue
Black and blue, (what to do?), and beautiful.
