Inspired by a Genius ‘Between the world and me’ There’s a spirit Something hanging in space So I called it ‘This Thing’ I feel it leaving my body Lynched at midnight Look! I tripped over my body As if I were a stranger Witnessing a victory celebration And I saw ‘this thing’ Taking on an identity Right here before my surprising eyes It became my presence Their pleasure, Their consumption of me And I, the lynched body Ah my friends, ‘This thing’ was so surprised At those human beings For they were so brutal to me Then suddenly, I, ‘This thing,’ Took another form before my eyes I became a circle A force, I multiplied into a holy being I was God, ‘this thing,’ and man, all in one But before the stranger appeared ‘This thing’ became many things... It was my black dress and my crispy fingers, ‘My white bones, stiffed with black blood’ It was my horrible body, my virginity, And my breasts Cut and consumed by countless disciples But right here, at this celebration ‘This thing’ was my eyes Witnessing my pain and misery It became my weakness and their power over me Then suddenly, another visitor appeared It was ‘the yellow surprise of the sun’ It came to inflict more pain on me More pain on my ragged corpse!
