city of djinns
 作曲 : Amani Saeed/Leo Kalyan/Ryan Ashley
I alternate between pale skinned and burnished gold
In the summer I step over the sun’s threshold and melt into this copper-coloured skin
If I believed in reincarnation there would be a hundred different souls stuffed like silk inside me
If you slit me open I would spill these colourful contradicting identities like an oil slick
This difference dying the street all my shapeshifting tints
My blood would leave a stain shimmering the colour of fire opal, a chemical curiosity
Turn me over in your hand, watch me catch the light a thousand different ways, each facet of me blinding
I’m iridescent, brilliant
I’m like Argus with a thousand eyes
I’m like Shiva with a thousand forms
I’m like a djinn with a thousand stories
I'm overflowing
Abundant
Bounteous
I carry in me Vermillion, Indigo and Saffron
My bones are made of precious stones
This difference
My difference
Is worth its weight in Gold
