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
