Vez que ahora lo miro al otro lado sin empatía, sin empatía, sin vitamina D 123 criado en algo mesclado un sol soleado un rito desritualizado un ritmo descuadrado checa esa cosa pa fentanila que no sea la ultima vez que me miras no tratemos de evitar el paso del tiempo milagroso son nuestros momentos musica me deja sustento bum bum tri kun tra alegría que me da bum bum tri kun tra, alegría que me da yo no se si tu lo sabes bum bum tri kun tra, alegría que me da alegría que me da, alegría que me da bum bum tri kun tra, alegría que me da bum bum, bum bum tri kun tra, bum bum bum bum tri kun tra, alegría que me da bum bum tri if you walk back in, to surmise a surprise won't reach you then I'd like to settle up, and reach consent i'd like to just reach inside myself and reaching from me, behind the book, within the shelves desecando jugando disectando guardando tocando un pizzicato, tócame algo bien simple, vacile te dejo sentirme bum bum tri kun tra, alegría que me da arroz habichuelas tostones, yuca frita y bonbones te saco pa un mofonguito, con tal que no te pongas changuito malita y sáfica, sus alas en tik tok, la mala tan distraught so distraught i'm so distraught with a maraca holding on desperately seeds that grow from ancient trees some things that are meant to mean some things are meant to mean looking inside myself i see that you live on looking inside myself i can see you inside of me

I want to share something true on my face, you can assume parasites dressed in white sink their teeth in suckle sacred on the weekends so my friends here's the rhyme the gringo-tainment, on a dime so what fails? clock and time birth a beast unconfined I found apocalypse in colonies born from occupations fomenting instabilities I watched parasitic white in the audience sink their teeth in to suckle something sacred I built something meant for me in my syllables, milagroso mystery machetes that were meant for us Cancel Miranda unloads a clip with Lolita, sabes que se queda esa misma misma ira (STEFA*) When you ask me what it means I'll just show you how I feel Oh I was never meant to be consumed Sorry baby, this was never meant for you Cuando me miro a la cara, y pienso en como me miraba Cuando me miro a la cara, y pienso en cuanto te amaba ahora se el amor es pa, para mi familia, dale corazón (Lola) I want to ask something too: Is it worth being in the room? With their walls and with their tools, it's a tomb a death to movements gone too soon So my friends heres the rhyme the gringo-tainment on a dime so what fails? clock and time birth a beast unconfined I found something that was meant for me when I dropped the fiddle, chose a different heart beat songs I learned they were not mine, some were precious some were fine now I speak through wood and hide, go so far to say confide fuck a four I play fifteen, si no puedes bailar that's cus you're not me so what fails us is their time. birth a beast that's unconfined, out of time.

Resolviendo en estos tiempos de facismo En realidad es mucho de lo mismo Que tremendo bochinche que estoy imaginando otra guerra civil, este país quemando no vengas que mi única voz es votando oye me si que aquí estoy cantando. Yo no acostumbraba amanecerme a estas horas pero hablamos y seguiamos hablando en mis sueños aun visito tus ojos verdidorados yo quiero ser, no quiero estar Resolviendo en estos tiempos de facismo En realidad es mucho de lo mismo Que tremendo bochinche que estoy imaginando La liberación me deja palpitando No vengas si no piensas estar luchando Oye me si que aquí estoy cantando. Aveces amar es un paso de la lucha cuidarnos mientras vivimos la revuelta Entre ataques y pandemias y racismo y que mas Aguanten tus amores y compas (Pink Navel) twiddling a thumb around another’s and the sky is burning  supper lately couples me with wild yearning  a dozen phone calls, my cords are taught i noticed breathing slow when door is knocked knocked knocked knocked  hey hi hello there same time an old stare thanks mine i go there frank  signed the glow bear  dodging hell in my tank the tank soft though, fuller than ever with a sweater and a lotso  scent of berry cost low when erasing shit like it’s chalk zone  grab my hand we escape here remembering the sand sans the rapier holding crew yes they aim near dodge the babylon and then we battle on  and then i babble on about those guys again my heads all stuffed with designer threats  looking to the left i see my flyer friends  makin a rise again, a lovely sight to be hiding in!!! our new tactics to move my chapstick lips till the sound break, barrier, and then i stash it the super magic that keeps us moving passed it accrue attract it, carrier of the love wave, and then we rode the subway ..

I’m caught apart from my own desires Falling too near to someone else’s fires I need to breath and be my own being In my phone pulsating bruise, fracture flairs up in storm My nails are feeling jagged, caught between my insecurities and anxieties The world is meaning much to me, the world is doing too much I’m caught apart from my own desires Falling too near to someone else’s fires I’m caught apart it hurts and my heart is locked I’ll talk and I’ll talk a lot to brick walls and humans caught In processing, you seem to know what I mean You seem to meet my pain with rage I know it weighs, I know it weighs (Eden) To wake up when it rains Allowing the smile in my mind to erase for now This is all I can take while you lack compassion I’ll do what I can for my sake Imagine that, siguiendo así Could you sit with that? Contemplando tu mismo I’m taken aback, you’re gonna get caught inside (Lola) You had me forgetting I was fine (Eden) Talk to me nice, I am that bitch you know I am a sight (Lola) And since you were out of mine, I was misaligned then realigned Sometimes I even felt sublime I’m caught apart from my own desires Falling too near to someone else’s fires

Saca mi nombre de tu boca que tu no me conoces no me pongas en esa caja usted no me conoce no trates de saludar porque tu no me conoces No hables mal de mi que tu no me conoces Tu no me conoces ~~ Yo quiero ponerme seca anytime Pero mejor sin el iPhone sin ponerlo online Y con el seco we will keep it on time Keep it inside under our mind yo quiero estar a tu lado w some wine en el parque Washington quemándonos un dime bumpeando reina ivy the stars align I don’t feel so confined Tu no me conoces Esperando que la tierra se reseca anytime Este flow es corrosivo pa tu pipeline Tu codicia petrolera es un landmine Pachamama te vale un f*cking dime pero creas un apocalipsis acelerá Ni el dinero ni la fama ni dios te liberará Esta seca pero bien seca, y con una rabia por tu avaricia

You, map of all your pasts, Soon, or perhaps it was some time ago Your shadow sang onto nobody’s home You wrote the earth is fine with its lithium, leave it in the ground Rematriate the land on which that lithium was found You, map of all your pasts, Curl, mark of what each place has done to you Graffiti after nights of slumber soothe I’m undocumenting ancient rivers again The same that flow today Call them names their people spoke I’m done with this charade Tanto esfuerzo pa abrir Mis cuentos Mis memorias Mis metaforas Tanto dolor que sostiene ciertas suburbias, malhumoradas Me cuesta tolerarlo Todo lo adinerado Todo lo manicurado Y todo lo indemnificado.

Sumale mambo pa que mi gente sueñe con revoluciones Es lo que pasa cuando te niegan hasta tus palpitaciones Repica los pasos, portales escasos, bailando transfestitaciones Refugiada en travesti rincones En las que se aplastan tostones I believe I can be as strong as a tree with the deepest roots caught in a storm Whether weathering weather weathering hurricanes, landslides, and poems Every day waking up a bit prettier Really it’s just belief interior Really it’s just me, me without her Me within me, me outside of me Mi certeza, mi belleza Milagros de mis mismas manos Respetando a la cabra y el cuero Cada semilla mismísimo suelo To los maestros y los macheteros To lo que sale de mi espiritualícelos To los que me han amado, that means you! Y to Las Mariquitas in my crew All the fallen angels at Club Q All of us who were never meant to be consumed, subdued, erased, devoured, and doomed I see us, I see us, I see us Fields of flowers never cut, allowed to wilt after we bloom One day I will be an elder One day you will be an elder One day we will be elders, we will be elders, we will be elders

about

not an album or an ep but rather a dream

Tukun ta, trukutuntukutuntukunta, scontintin krutakata

Right around her newly released nipples-as-accessories, banana juice permanently stains Seka’s AVATAREDEN t-shirt. She had wielded a machete that encouraged spurt and splatter as it dismembered 20 fruits from the half-budded banana tree racimo.

Somewhere along the plane of the eternal present, Seka is also at the Ghost Dance at Standing Rock at Wells Fargo 1983 at el capitolio 1954 somewhere hovering up over Lolita and all of them

¡¡Tra kuku ta!!

Seka is a friend, now passed, but never forgotten. Their bones in Columbus, their pulse here and here and here and here and in every step you take, their spirit everywhere everywhere everywhere.

Seka is your shadow singing onto nobody’s home, the map of all your pasts.

Seka is the ardent refusal of the metronome and the colonially imposed name on river. Seka watches a river flow both ways and fears drowning and dreams of clean waterways.

Seka’s Dream is “TE KIERO VER KERIENDOTE”

Somehow…….. by the end of this process of creation…… I made her dream come true……
She refused to let me not believe……. She was full of contradictions…… she didn’t die or live ….
Her existence run irrespective of life or death…. She be … she dream
