the word

today's word comes from saul williams' ...said the shotgun to the head.  an excerpt from the 4th chapter...

your dead ancestors
re-die
in air tight vaults

they conspire
to seduce your children

you have done nothing
to protect them
from the evil eye

i serve
a living God

she is a distorted horn solo
fingered by the hand
of a master

time's signature
has done no more
than punctuate
her curvature
