letra de blue dementia - yusef komunyakaa

Loading...

in the days when a man
would hold a swarm of words
inside his belly, nestled
against his spleen, singing

in the days of night riders
when life tongued a reed
till blues & sorrow song
called out of the deep night:
another man done gone
another man done gone

in the days when one could lose oneself
all up inside love that way
& then moan on the bone
till the gods cried out in someone’s sleep

today
already i’ve seen three dark-skinned men
discussing the weather with demons
& angels, gazing up at the clouds
& squinting down into iron grates
along the fast streets of luminous encounters

i double-check my reflection in plate gl-ss
& wonder, am i p-ssing another
lucky thompson or marion brown
cornered by a blue dementia
another dark-skinned man
who woke up dreaming one morning
& then walked out of himself
dreaming? did this one dare
to step on a crack in the sidewalk
to turn a midnight corner & never come back
whole, or did he try to stare down a look
that shoved a blade into his heart?
i mean, i also know something
about night riders & catgut. yeah
honey, i know something about talking with ghosts
