“I was in love and my love turned out to be quite mad, and well we know, no candle can compare to fire.”
― The Man Who Shot Out My Eye Is Dead
― The Man Who Shot Out My Eye Is Dead
“You don’t want to be hanging around with folks still mad they lost the Civil War.”
― The Gone Dead
― The Gone Dead
“the leather strap the broom the switch
habits before freedom
freedom: the lie which is true
before: kept fed but close to death
the penitentiary the gun the rope
is at hand now that you free
free: kept down with your eyes down
now: night riders patrol in cars
those born again die free
a lie for grateful slaves
grateful: who are better off
lie: who is better off
dig down into the unmarked earth
lay there and be free”
