from Song of the Andoumboulou: 44 Splay Anthem, Nathaniel Mackey It was night nowhere near where we were. Eyes popped, no one saw me... I bit my reed, it was a black cat bone... All I wanted was to walk with an ushering wind at each elbow, a bead of blood poised on the bell of the horn’s lower lip... The world was only a dream I dreamt at a stoplight in San Francisco, Radio Valencia just up the block, me alive again Nathaniel Mackey
