Imagine trying to geminate in a stony land Aiming for the sky to be part of the constellations too Finding a way between the stones worshiping gravity.
Imagine becoming a star, burning with curiosity, While the gods who brought you to this world keep shooting you everywhere like a confused lightning.
Imagine your parents mapping their afterlife through your skin Poor parents marking treasure maps to an innocent soul βKUGATAβ
Imagine being taken to doors of prophets, Pastors and Sangomas, Only to grow up hating neither.
Imagine a pregnant teenager Who is yet to find her direction She travelled to heaven through my eyes
(Swati word)KUGATA is a ritual used to be practiced by most South African tribes, where they cut the skin of child to protect him from evil spirit as he grows. Sangoma is a traditional healer (Zulu/Swati word)
