Anansi's pet Fox

Don’t You Recall?

Do you know where you came from?

You came from God’s harem, that’s where.

Yes, from God, who is without fault or flaw.

Try to remember.

Don’t you recall those divine, beautiful lips?

In truth, you’ve forgotten them,

and that’s why you’re so confused

and your head is spinning.

You’ve been selling your soul for a handful of dirt.

What a lousy deal!

Return that dirt.  Know your value.  

You aren’t a slave.  You’re the master.

You’re the sultan.

Beautiful faces came down secretly from the sky,

just for you.

About

Nothing is as it seems
Anansi the spider in the West African/ Caribbean storytelling tradition and the fox/kitsune in the oral traditions of many peoples are wily trickster animals. The blog name is meant to reflect this.

I credit the artist/ original poster whenever I use something that isn't my own. If you see something of yours on here that you'd prefer wasn't on here, contact me on spiderkitsune@gmail.com. I don't check it very often so I won't guarantee I'll get back to you right away, but I will eventually.
