• W297804703 abstract "Break - heart, in your madness - rejoice in nothing that is - tomorrow's the day Etheridge goes down deeper than sleep - he's gone out today like thin air - his life-force breath and spirit freed from the poor tortured body in disease will never sing again - what garbage this world is - heaped up plastic-circuit lies and foam-rubber elastics stinking like deaths that can not be without what you sing - Mississippi blues and mosquito rivers run and carry you miles like the speaking drum mantra of flesh - bone - skin - tones - your echo calls me, then as now to say to them what you told me - but the no-good Nile and ravaged Hudson run like bodies of glass bearing industrial mass - without your breathing voice anymore the trees crack like old factory panes and the leaves bleed through acid holes made by chemical rainfalls - the inhuman moon loves no one anymore Old friend - for the spirit of the wood, for the beauty that made you immortal for the end - the speaking and the hearing drums pound us all away into the tongue of purest sound - poet of soul-blues/jazz and song I know too well how I miss you now, first sayer of the sooth-said psalm that gave my voice liberty to swing when you said: Just SAY a poem . and I heard your echoing power in each thing of this life-world And now all night in tiny pieces I remember how much hope and strength you lent me, your voice deep and gentle as explosions under sea as oral wisdom humbles hyperliteracy, I heard your South with awe, your America a horror show of laws - you knew all along how heady poets jam images like waters pushing over a dam (and it AIN'T got that swing to mean any DAMNED meaning thing) - how poems for the page are aimed into linear ages that never arrive - their futures never mature into now - Speaker of truths - what else can you be? Sainthood's too high and prisons make a faith of abuse - You believed in your self enough to open the deep and sweet cells of the heart even in ruins no one could bear - your voice like a thunderhead made so many leaves tremble to answer your gale with words - So many times you started over from scratches deep enough to kill ten men - I hear your grasp of hungry pain, its pulsing rhyme of clash like ragtime jungles packed with piano tigers - there every note strikes - hammering bone - The world becomes criminally insane without you beating its cinderblock walls - without your refraining voice ringing out what must be - telling/tolling to become all you survived - transformed creating glories from agonies - but terrible beauties free-born, music of the mired-shit of foreign wars, so crises/politics/presidents become no lies, no liars, but resonance - a triumph no next wind can unhinge, your greatness pouring melody to and from what never changes and changes every thing …" @default.
