blues to elvin
born with ears, even now, packed with garbage. the stuff of dead men. wax, & elbows. sewage, seaweed, debris of forgotten oceans, or shells. or the shells & shit they beat the indians with.
for us to shut up, what they can offer. pitiful. so small, can it bend the ear. paper, & shells. to fill our ears, to make us forget. to sing, made some improbable proposition. to get thru,
some genius we wanted to cry, to the moon, like weird wolves of illusion. insanity. the stoppage. drained, & collapse, on the floor, thru, with love, & un- settled ears. to begin to go, where the music goes, out, to you
detroit 1965
