Inspired by the skin shedding frogs of the Mesoamerican rain god Tlaloc, I speak of the transitional nature of identity, accompanied by the renewing spirit voices of rain, thunder and frog.
{ inspired by "Head of the Rain God and Crouching Frogs" by unknown artist }
lyrics
Identity is a skin!
Like frogs we shed and devour
that gory placenta of what was
Born again, naked and new,
we testify our true self
in the cleansing rain and thunder
we steal from the gods
the power of death and resurrection
Identity itself is ours
to dissolve and solidify again
and again
and again
in myriad form
