by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers

There's fairness in changing blood for septet's

guardian¹ rhythm， the horn blossoming

into cadenza. No good pimp's scowl²， his

baby's voice ruined sweet for the duration.

Yes， these predictable fifths. O， the blues³

is all about slinging⁴ those low tales out

the back door （sing： child pried⁵ open on that

stained floor）。 O， Billie hollers way down dirt

roads （sing： woman on the verge⁶ of needled

logic⁷）。 She's aware——yeah， I'm going to

kiss some man's sugared fist tonight. O， this

tableau's muse⁸， a Lady cautioning me：

Just tough this thing out， girl. Sweat through the jones.

Don't ask for nothing. Spit your last damned note
