James niggerkin

his own whiteskin(either reading was fine by him)


he couldnt speak for Marlon James 
                            he wrote to feed the red rapacious fire that was always hungry its raw mouth agape seething  it snorted breath and snot through its nosenever a moment not to feed  to eat  and eat   and eat

it hadnt a body to fill

its intestines strung out behind it and dumped black ash on the ground   

the ash nervously flew away

it didnt eat for sustenance

it ate to eat



he didnt complain

he made his decision to feed it

he wasnt coerced

if he didnt have a pen in hand he was either asleep or working  though the while his eyes were open his ears to the ground his sensual cilia pricked

he sensed tidbits(Golding informed him they were titbits – he was confused – he considered deferring to Golding who had been dead a long time and maybe in his heyday they were called titbits – titbits however meant something different to him – titbits were underboobs and sideboobs – tantalizing – begging him to beg for morehe wasnt beneath that – No he wasnt)  he sensed tidbits and hints





niggerkin  whiteskin

Marlon and Joe at odds

each familiar(likely foresworn) with what they knew  but always bearing an unquenchable curiousness

Marlon inhabits a different form

Joe calls his mosaic  

it reminds him of the ancient artform broken pieces of pottery glass tiles or foundstone worked together and set to form compose an image  those reliefs before Romes ascension before art twisted away from Nature to celebrate the anthropomorphic  its incessant vanity  celebrating its battles and conquests fomented destruction and slavery the many legged-horses pulling war chariots fearsome warriors bolt upright at their reins long deadly spears and broadswords bows and arrows quivers ornate shields breastplates cheires and greaves gaudy headdresses and helmets 

but this artifice also enables the weak or cowardly  

it dilutes the rich red blood of savages who used their bare hands and strength and grit



the meek shall inherit the earth

and they have


weaklings dont die at birththeir blood grows thinner and thinnerheroes fewer and fewer
