Amphibians

An old man says

“Listen to the waves

They are carrying ancient memories...”

The fallen stars

The perfect twins

One sacrificed becoming savior

From the restless sky

The eternal sea

They fell like rain

Getting away

Away from the sea

Obsessive, seductive,

the scent of foreign land.

The twins would soon arrive.

As twins they were designed.

The world was made

by the hands of Amma.

Moving away.

Drifting away, far from the sea.

Amphibians

Were the makers of our laws

Amphibians

An old man says

“Listen to the waves,

They are carrying ancient memories

Across the sea of countless stars”

Inventive, seductive

As Dogon’s stories tell

The twins that were divine

As twins they were designed

The world was made

By the hands of Amma

Moving away

Drifting away,

Far from the sea

Amphibians

were the makers of our laws

Amphibians

An old man says

“Listen to the waves

They are carrying ancient memories

To the silence”

An old man says

“Listen to the waves!

They are carrying ancient memories

Across the sea of countless stars”

The fallen stars

The perfect twins

One sacrificed becoming savior

They are carrying ancient memories

To the silence
