chee malabar - wild geese كلمات الأغنية

verse
chee malabar:
there’s no one left to love and only five leaves left/few more seasons will cycle he reasons will the seeds survive his last breath?/these orange trees, avocados and pomegranates he planted in memory/of his childhood/all else he forgot–can’t trace the shape his life took/but summers in wildwood and winters chosen’ wild geese/ plays on his mind’s screen, until he hears a child scream/tears stream down his face thats shaped like an old world map/with broken capillaries and veins that run like trade routes/that shipped slaves and turned the earth flat/ slats of light filter through venetian blinds/sign for his morning stroll, the sun his only sense of time/p-sses grime coated frames holding photos with no names/ on yellowed walls like a static sunset/with bucket hat and cane he walks the orange tree lined streets/and calls for his last loves left, wild geese

chorus
anand subramanian
i swore i heard you through the night/
familiar demons infiltrate my mind/
await arrival of your flight/
the same old patterns float inside this blinding light

verse
chee malabar:
there’s so much love to give, yet no one left to love/few days until christmas she wishes for her kin to visit before her death/sons and daughters busy growin’ clans from the same seeds that’s planted in her vein imprinted hands/hands that slapped them senseless/ made meals and made do when their daddy left home in a caddy with his mistress/thick skinned through chill winds, she kept the coop together/ drinking through winter nights, hiding fright/while daddy flying south flocking with exotic birds with different feathers/a few letters came, she sent him pictures of their kids/same ones that blamed her drinking for breaking up the crib/barely time to nurture so they harbored some resentment/she never played the martyr, just labored to keep them nested/less said the better now this season of her life/when all the rhymes and reasons only cast a meager light/and she might miss the wild geese come home in eager flight

chorus
anand subramanian:
i swore i heard you through the night/
familiar demons infiltrate my mind/
await arrival of your flight/
the same old patterns float inside this blinding light

teju cole:
often, as i searched the sky, all i saw was rain, or the faint contrail of an airplane bisecting the window, and i doubted in some part of myself whether these birds, with their dark wings and throats, their pale bodies and tireless little hearts, really did exist. so amazed was i by them that i couldn’t trust my memory when they weren’t there
