for my book (Unrhymed Septet and Hymku)


Septet

I.


aint nothing but a southern negro son,
a god-made aria, married to my art.
desperately searching out a place to plant
a sapling of sound and breath. looking for
a brief pause just to sing...you know? that pause
to collect my tunes and bury them, spread
my own song across a thirsty earth-scape.


®hymku


parted thighs singing ancient songs; we will sail down mornings.
