Lord she's gone done left me done packed / up and split
and I with no way to make her
come back and everywhere the world is bare
bright bone white crystal sand glistens
dope d**h dead dying and jiving drove
her away made her take her laughter and her smiles
and her softness and her midnight sighs—
f** Coltrane and music and clouds drifting in the sky
f** the sea and trees and the sky and birds
and alligators and all the animals that roam the earth
f** marx and mao f** fidel and nkrumah and
democracy and communism f** smack and pot
and red ripe tomatoes f** joseph f** mary f**
god jesus and all the disciples f** fanon nixon
and malcolm f** the revolution f** freedom f**
the whole muthaf**ing thing
all i want now is my woman back
so my soul can sing.
