SNAKE PLANT (THE PAST IS STILL ALIVE)
(written by Alynda Segarra)
Snake plant, Florida water
I only wanted ever to be a good daughter
Soft hands, gold rings
Try to remember most everything.
Like feeding grapefruits to the cows,
Hold my belly while I’m laughing out loud.
A bathing suit on a two day drive,
Malaria, you can’t sleep at night.
Lemon tree and a mango for the baby,
Record player you can call me sister Sadie.
Gonna cut a rope and tie her to the tree
When the hurricane comes, the hurricane comes.
I know your face I know your smell.
I know that you were living in hell.
Pee in the bushes while I wait for a train,
Under the bridge when it starts to rain.
I never got to ride the sunset route,
But I drank enough 100 proof.
Campfire on the superfund site,
Garbage island fucking in the moonlight.
I play my song for the barrel of freaks
And we go shop lifting when it’s time to eat.
They don’t even really know my name,
I’m so happy that we escaped from where we came.
Tattoo with a needle and thread.
Most of our old friends are dead,
TEST YOUR DRUGS
REMEMBER NARCAN
There’s a war on the people,
What don’t you understand?
There’s fentanyl in everything,
Don’t become an angel with a broken wing.
We need you back down here on earth,
Nothing is as painful as birth.
Time flies when you’re getting old,
I was born with a baby boy soul.
Maybe someday I’ll see you again
In a field, a war, a kingdom of sand.
Maybe we can smile again,
Maybe we can dance again.
I’d kiss your lips and hold your hands.
Maybe we can dance again.
I was young when I left home,
I never stopped running,
Used to think I was alone.
But nothing can stop me now.
Nothing can stop me now.
