but i remember driving from atlanta to the city with stone & featherstone & cleve & on the way feather talked about ambushing a pair of klansmen & cleve told how they hunted chaney's body in the white night of the haunted house in the mississippi swamp while a runaway survivor from orangeburg slept between wars on the back seat. times like this are times when black people are with each other & the strength flows back & forth between us like borrowed breath. In Orangeburg My Brothers Did in orangeburg my brothers did the african twist around a bonfire they 'd built at the gate to keep the hunkies out. the day before they'd caught one shooting up the campus like the white hunter he was. but a bonfire? only conjures up the devil. up popped the devil from behind a bush the brothers danced the fire danced the bullets cut their flesh like bullets. black death black death black death black brothers black sisters black me with no white blood on my hands we are so beautiful we study our history backwards & that must be the beast's most fatal message that we die to learn it well. 62 I Dices or Black Bones N.

Men alcoved in agonies sprawl their lives outwardly upon an inward World , as if bottled in a dream preferred . Often , dreams (however holy watered) are unable to pass through doorways like the cold of January lateness and the anointed agonies of men . 66 I Dices or Black Bones .............................. .............................. .............................. ............................. . .............................. .......................... .............. .............. .......... .............. ............. . . .... ........ .............. ............ . .............. .............. .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. .............................. ..............................
