TRACK: “ICE AGE,” HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS (2012).

There is always a brown girl who knows exactly how and when to open up the walls and disappear. We know this is easy as breathing on a cool day. We know how to pluck music from the air, and how to pluck away grays. We know how to call for ocean to rise, cold salt and tide, how to bury, and how to build fire. We know we are that ocean. We know how to strip away sound, pulse, and subside. From barely a sigh, we can hold a pure note high. We know that to be a brown girl is to call the ocean is call to the self is to know you have to find a way.
