Playing Possum 歌词

To my mentors and comrades in arms Those presence and those gone on Thank you to my family (Can you see them now?) To my partner Mysteria who I love and depend on more than I can say (For some children) To my son Thebe (Words like) Cultural worker and student of life (Home) Whose growth and insights inspire me, a thousand kisses (Could not carry any possible meaning) Thank you to my brothers (But displaced) My niece (Border) My nephews, my sisters, my friends (Refugee) My whole family network (Consider) Who have let me be distracted and inconsistent in my intention (The premature daily death of their dreams) Who've put up with crazy schedules, short tempers, mad dashes, and all the rest (Consider what staggering memories frighten and abort The hope that should have been Perhaps I should just borrow The rememberer’s voice again While I can and say) You know the real deal (To have a home is not a favor)
