You are a little bit of heaven, 
and I'm just coming down. 
It's six I guess I got til seven, 
to turn you back around. 

My love nothing's permanent, 
Can't get a cure for it, 
but I would try, I would try. 

In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
You disappear indifferent, flying there in the blue. 
The blue. 

And were they perfect moments?
Cos I'm so different now. 
You get kicked, get tough, get up, get over, 
the dream you hadn't found. 

My love nothing's permanent, 
Can't get a cure for it, 
but I would try, I would try. 

In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
You disappear indifferent, flying there in the blue. 
The blue, the blue, flying there in the blue. 
In the air I breathe again, feel again and you...
The blue, the blue, flying there in the blue.

Stillmatic is the 2nd piece of a three-part ‘poetic-triptych’ written by poet Anacaona Rocio Milagro, produced by Substantial, with Lizzie Blue on the piano, and cover art by Kenny Rivero. Titled after and honoring the 20 year anniversary of Nas’s album Stillmatic, the poet speaks of her favorite day: when her big brother, all the way from Washington Heights, deep in street life, stepped out and somehow found her in the Bronx during her undisclosed religious initiation ceremony just so they could listen to the entire Nas album together in his car the day it dropped—this is how he loves. They "Nodded their heads until their thorn crowns spun off… into glowing disks." The ‘poetic-triptych’s’ first piece is titled When You Were Red and describes losing a brother to street life, to then find him again in this piece Stillmatic, only to lose him again in the final piece titled Delirium (coming soon). Twenty years later, and it’s still the poet's favorite day.

Anacaona Rocio Milagro is a poet born and raised in New York City, Washington Heights. Writing poetry since the age of four and performing throughout her adolescence, she went on to hit the national stage with the Nuyorican Poets Café Slam team winning 2nd place in the National Poetry Slam Championship. She later earned an MFA in Poetry at NYU’s Low Residency program in Paris, an MPH at Columbia University, and a BA in Social Anthropology and Journalism/Creative Writing with a minor in Art from Baruch College/CUNY BA. Her Nine Eleven Poem has been added to the Smithsonian Museum’s 9/11 archives. Her poetry has been published in The BreakBeat Poets Latinext Anthology, Narrative Magazine, LittHub, and Raising Mothers, to name a few. Her father is from the Dominican Republic and her mother is from St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands. She is the single mother of two, Nirvana Sky and Zion.
