coming home
isabelle khoo-miller | 2023
ayeye for all of this
eye transform with all these lessons
learning to heal the inside lesions
excited to travel to new ancient regions
believin’
clearing seeing
nature peeing
wash my hands in the river
continue peeling
this orange from the tree of life
it bears every kind of fruit
nut
root
and eye
drink water from the cliff
with the pine tree
loving every ancestor behind me
do you see what eye see?
you’ve been given two pitchers of the first wave
you’ve been shown dream pictures from the first days
you are worth it, no matter what they say
you are different, don’t try to be the same
kissing the joint
feeling every joint
muscle and channel
when eye read, eye channel
receiving messages from unstoppable water channels
you feel me?
feeling the body activate
jump and shake
kiss the blunt again
watch the bullshit fade away
made of the rawest material
exploring this consciousness beyond the material
this one held its own hand
had to stretch beyond the band
had to grow right through this land
had to flow right through these hands
this one has a mind of its own
Mama T told me to own
my body
discernment and discipline can’t be a hobby
eye was born into my own body
sustained by the many who made it
too real to ever fake it
too naked to ever be ashamed of it
you’ve been given two pitchers of the first wave
you’ve been shown dream pictures from the first days
you are worth it, no matter what they say
you are different, don’t try to be the same
eyem their absolute worst fear
eyem gonna heal myself right here
take back what they stole
and hid behind they left ear
this change is coming
regardless of what you hear
matrix falls apart
when eye do the work to clear
those chains
they're not meant for me
suffering is not a destiny
we must break those agreements
to bring our families where they're meant to be
this goes beyond empathy
they'll do their best to empty me
efforts are futile eye see
eyem the core of the earth
they could never touch me
eye like to brush me
with abuelita’s comb
reminds me wherever eye am
eyem always home
reminds me our hands can be
attacked by phones
and assures me no life is pumping
through those clones
but in these bones courses the
most radiant of life
regenerating generations
remembering what's light
what it's like
to be a butterfly at night
a jaguar and a snake
under a galaxy so bright
this is exactly the fight
that eye signed up for
lifetimes ago
with a really strong core
group of friends
now we're all over the world
here to do it all again
same same but different
now, now that's their biggest fear
a whole bunch of us back again
aligned in our mission
intertwined in our paths
this exceeds classroom math
this will stop the extraction of gas
this round nobody will pass
this a fucking blast from the past
this that heat you need for the future
this that rain to remind you
you're super
that you're alive
that we've seen it with our very own eyes
your future does exist
it's your life
you keep it
keep going
we all need it
you are divine
now you just gotta believe it
