The Mothering Blackness
She came home running
back to the mothering blackness
deep in the smothering blackness
white tears icicle gold plains of her face
She came home running
back to the mothering blackness
deep in the smothering blackness
white tears icicle gold plains of her face
She came home running
She came down creeping
here to the black arms waiting
now to the warm heart waiting
rime of alien dreams befrosts her rich brown face
She came down creeping
here to the black arms waiting
now to the warm heart waiting
rime of alien dreams befrosts her rich brown face
She came down creeping
She came home blameless
black yet as Hagar’s daughter
tall as was Sheba’s daughter
threats of northern winds die on the desert’s face
She came home blameless
Dia pulang berlari
kembali ke kegelapan ibu
jauh di dalam kegelapan menyesakkan
air mata putih membasahi dataran emas di wajahnya
Dia pulang berlari
Dia datang merayap
di sini untuk lengan hitam menunggu
sekarang ke hati yang hangat menunggu
rime of alien dreams befrosts wajah cokelatnya yang kaya
Dia datang merayap
Dia pulang tanpa cacat
hitam namun sebagai putri Hagar
tinggi seperti putri Sheba
ancaman angin utara mati di wajah gurun
Dia pulang tanpa cacat
black yet as Hagar’s daughter
tall as was Sheba’s daughter
threats of northern winds die on the desert’s face
She came home blameless
Dia pulang berlari
kembali ke kegelapan ibu
jauh di dalam kegelapan menyesakkan
air mata putih membasahi dataran emas di wajahnya
Dia pulang berlari
Dia datang merayap
di sini untuk lengan hitam menunggu

rime of alien dreams befrosts wajah cokelatnya yang kaya
Dia datang merayap
Dia pulang tanpa cacat
