Here you will find the Poem Cell Song of poet Etheridge Knight

Cell Song

Night Music Slanted 
Light strike the cave of sleep. I alone 
tread the red circle 
and twist the space with speech 

Come now, etheridge, don't 
be a savior; take your words and scrape 
the sky, shake rain 

on the desert, sprinkle 
salt on the tail 
of a girl, 

can there anything 
good come out of 
prison
