Mourn in Papiemento

... For healing

Do know it takes pain to fix pain

Healing may not without bitter taste

And a healer had had to feel illness

... It may be time to move on

yet

move on to what

... to where

Without knowledge of where we were!?

The present begets the future

Just as the future is rooted in the Past

Therefore I am to heal

From eating hard medicines

regardless of taste

Yet the baby me

Is unwilling

so our Nananum - Forefathers held me down

Tight to the nose and shoved into my mouth ...

down the throat while I thought to gasps for air

Becoming the healer

From the sufferings

Learning recovery

With clenched teeth

Having to cure my lasted - torturous wounds with medicinal liquid that Stings sharply

Winds of the ancestors carry you

to their skeletal abode

Anchored places of no return

Listen

Hear the dead remains of a struggle

See

Witness the forgotten touches of pain

Feel the drowned voices

Face in the face

Breath over breath

Do we fight on

or

Do we Fight off

Welcome to KUNUKU

Bitter - Sweet memory

House of KUNUKU

Telling of the

Chi and the Yang

The food and the Hunt

Hehehehe

Hand stretched out to feed me dried herbs

Oops!

She ate it

"Ah it was for you to take just a smell "

Well, it's already in

saw beyond the hand

heard beyond the voice

And mouthed it in before any physical reasoning

Then the transformation

"But this herbs are of old and may have dirt on"

Well

I could only smile

In a knowing beyond me - beyond explaining

Here is a woman with and among you three

One with whom she journeyed here

yet foreign to her

The other two are undeniably humans too

Yet foreign for her

In transformation

She is now the Mother - a Child- a Sister or

a Something - something

Her red dress

tells of the bloodlines and the blood sheds

-of hearts holding still in much love

-Of misguided souls pursuing a home

And of a bond

They are Surprised and excited

at my fast pick on the ancestor's way

They reached for their recording tools

gathering memories

Memories in demonstrate

Pictured moments of a past in the present

( song)

washiku washa kinubu laba ya

Kamlimba pae ya

(insert video version )

All of the dirt in and on

be washed away now

Every pain inflicted

To whatever tores at the soul

Be washed away now

Deep sorrows and poison buried within

Be washed away

Be washed away now

Inside the house of KUNUKU

is seated the ancient dinning table that

served from the sweat and tears of the ancestors

In the core chamber of KUNUKU

is the diner's bed to laying on Mother

In forced orgasmic reproduce

Overwhelmed by all

I yearn for you mighty brightened blue sea

Take me

Possess

engulf

Let me feel your power

in the eyes

in the mouth

to the parting of my covered sacredness

Tasting your strength

Clean me

through and through

clean me

In your saltines

inner to outer

Charge

charged up to begin a complete ritual

Boommmmmm buduboom buduboom

Your sound like drumrolls in thunderbolts

Boommmmmm buduboom buduboom !! (3)X

" Aya ya ya yaaaaaa "

And I moan in Papiemento

Boommmmmmmmm.... buduboomboom buduboom !! (3)X

Singing songs now lost in meaning

(song video insert )

-Djaawena pilo Ha !

Baatiye Baatiye

Baati pilo

Cleansed

Renewed

Fortified

Enthroned

It makes sense not

yet

Remember

this 23rd date

The stage becomes the altar

Clothed as the high Priestess

Projecting of Mother

With a torchlight

To Pagya Fire

Hearts set afire

United in Love

Healing energy to all

Setting free

Set free

In joyous celebration

Boommmmmmmmmm buduboom boom buduboom !! (3)X
