The Homesteader
Silent. I showed a patron to her seat And I’m a Negro who can make it grow My body’s sky; they try to pick a star Of the dangers I avoided of lust First, I want the past to lie down and die Real-life scenes strike fear, while past scenes just taunt Birth of a Nation brings a love story Just a hint of sweat, Agnes, on your breast To survive this war with my girl’s husband Man, forget all the laws; we’re in love and grown Through the night, unrests breaks. How to survive? Like hands folding into fists, the people With shoes on feet and prayer on tongue, I drive I proved man could choose art over the knife Looking ahead pushes the past deeper Others die complacent, eating crumbs from All of the dead ascend to family But what else should we try to fulfill? Work I need the vibration of people in As the story unfolds beneath my hands But here I am, working, like it or not I see you when I look outside, daily Daily, I look outside and I see hell Men and women have some stories to tell Even at a movie, I keep my mind Their shadows are cast from the light falling Their bodies already lie at rest. What Listen, after these new taxes are paid I knowed hell and I had nothin’ to lose To slumber Wednesday night, at peace, dreaming Bootblacks. Scared maids. Unknown hands on Sunday Starting now, focused, I see through a lens Sharpen the focus in your lens, and you As the light bounces back and as the shot In just one shot, I could offer a kiss Pull in. Time for the close-up: the money I need money to get started. Novels I’ll cast characters from The Homesteader Starting now, the film we’ve all been waiting Used to a life without hugs, not even Mama says you have to fall on hard times Even in death—Hollywood’s star-lined streets Night: In a city under the North Star By train the bent-back sharecroppers come, too
