To come from the line of a man who tamed the snakes Gazed into the fire And breathed life into wombs of women Dying to be the shell Broke down plants till they became medicine Healed the hands he touched, And what am I but a vessel of his life, A broken one? His blood must have ran right through me Like the monotony of a lecture In one ear and out the other

Great Grandfather
To come from the line of a man who tamed the snakes Gazed into the fire And breathed life into wombs of women Dying to be the shell Broke down plants till they became medicine Healed the hands he touched, And what am I but a vessel of his life, A broken one? His blood must have ran right through me Like the monotony of a lecture In one ear and out the other
