the void - thandi ntuli lyrics

what happens to black boys who go missing?
do we even call it missing?
do we just say, “he’s gone”?

what happens to boys who hide inside their minds?
who run across borders
who live in dimensions that should have remained in the womb?

what happens to boys who are unwanted?
what happens to boys who want to die inside their skins
the day they learn what their fathers have done to them?
what their mothers have done to themselves
what they are made of

pain like a rubik’s cube, changing face, but not form
[?], is the [?] direct of her own kids everyday
her [?] is the center of the hurricanes, not the eye
crosses and boils at the bottom of the sea
oh people [?]
[?]

they find their own, ready to teach her
you refuse your ident-ty as water
[?]
claim your streets as oceans
wash your cities in fire
minds stop menstruating
the sky won’t release her tights
we wake up in the sun the same day
the long death [?]

the morning guidelight is just a show with a sponsor
who is paying for the sun to show up everyday?
if that works for free then him because i can’t
who [?]
[?] not a man
the sun shows up to man’s appluase
and lives everyone else to deal with the mud
we start touching dirt in the city streets
they started touching me
the say let go of your story
but first, you have to know it is there
in the blood and in the body
in the food and in the sea
in the goddess that is fighting a war in me
and the twisted -rs-nal in the depths of shame
in the wailing voice that gives songs their names
