Tu Avin Bandra

In yet another song on the body, Kabir meditates on the fragility of our lives - like a necklace of pearls that will scatter, like a garden of flowers that will be grazed away, or like a clay pot that will shatter one day. This body is also described as a marketplace, where one must strike a good bargain. Full text and translations at http://cityoffeeling.blogspot.com/2015/01/hiye-kaaya-mein.html
This is a live recording made in Rome by the renowned oral historian, Alessandro Portelli. Performing here with Shabnam Virmani at the Apollo Film Club.

Deep Sleep Acoustic

song i wrote back in 2019 when feeling some type of way.. it's abt cat, ED, depression, n hope <3 love u all hope u enjoy

lyrix:
i, and the sink and the light
falling over my face and my shirt and my acne prone skin out of spite

she, and her big eager eyes
as she waits at the door and i’m late but she’s shameless so she still cries

so i get out the milk and i call it day but she stays
she looks at me knowingly as if to say ‘u know it’s just a phase’

and so her food is what she is to me - it keeps her alive

me, and my binge hour fries
with each one is a pledge, "i will cleanse"
but my thighs, they know otherwise

he, stares at me as he lies
then he turns on his back and i’m watching the fur on him fall and rise

he’ll use my arm as a pillow and lap as a home when it rains
that’s when i don’t mind the way that i look, forget what it is to be vain

he shows me what i’ll never believe: i’m tender and kind
sometimes i cry
and want to die
but i’m mostly fine 😛
