lyrics

On Gender

Name a ghost.
Call it a girl.

Name a body.
Map a body like a chart of stars

Name a weapon.
Say pussy.

Say it to her face.

Now apologize for misgendering my pussy.

The moon & my pussy uses they/them pronouns.
Or u can call us bitch.
Or u can call us nigga, i guess
(the moon is black too)

The moon & i smile,
See,
we smart.

We know most of u can’t call us that
We on some trick shit,
Wear lipstick
& orbit on beats 2 & 4

Name a body.
Call it a knife
Say girl,
Right?

i call myself a boi & no one understands
i admit i don’t quite follow my own damn self

Still i fire
Soft & sharp toothed boi
i take happy
& wear it around my waist
i woo myself

i sing my pussy
to anyone who will listen
But it sings back Blk

My blk body makes a home of my mouth
We blk hole sun
To have a body & not be able to pass
For anything other than blk & woman-ish

You runnin yet?
Don’t worry. It’s fine.
Most people do.
It’s nothing we ain’t used to.

i ghost while still inside this body.

XX

In which my blk body goes blue
Becomes something other than a body or
Becomes Woman
again

Becomes Recognizable & Easy to Understand
In which without a body,
i become a person
