Description
The jawbone of an ass. A shank braided with shark teeth. A garrote. A shepherd’s sling. A jagged stone that catches light & makes warriors dance to a bull-roarer’s lamentation. An obsidian axe. A lion-skin drum & reed flute. A nightlong prayer to gods stopped at the mouth of a cave. – Yusef Komunyakka
