A spoken word memoir honoring the artist’s mother — a woman who carried love in her arms and left gardens in her wake.
Lyrics: Mama with a machete/ Skirt hitched up past her knees/ Chopping away at a city jungle/ With Bruce Lee’s expertise/
She’s moved into the city/ To a bungalow in town/ But still hits coconuts between the eyes/ And wears orchids in her crown/
Still the tiger she ever was/ Though the machete is used for cooking/ Coconut, ginger and garlic too/ It’s steamy in her kitchen/
But she never dreams of island life/ The pond was too small there/ In the city she grows a banana tree/ She’s made her garden there
