Fever Dreams - Robert E. Miss
2014
Ferment
Big Bill Diggs tended bar by the river.
Gentle Bill Diggs, a most obliging nigger.
As Bill shuffled home from Ada’s place, his shoulders drooped.
The molasses smile stuck tacky on his face slowly fermented.
On the dusty road to his doorstoop
Each step now slid and slithered a louder slitter and clink
Of bottlecaps underfoot.
Far bendwards and backwards the road bristled the tiny
points of cork and golden dots.
A whitefrothed ferment, sour bellyful of yessirs and nossirs,
The blistering boil of flouted orders
Burst Bill’s corky mask.
He scooped and dryheaved an alky’s worth of caps
At the alkaline heat.
No caps clinked to the stoneflecked crust of a road.
Only dust settled at Bill’s feet
Where his last downcast dignity lay cast down.
A flock of grackles jump-flew through the maples,
Ebony hecklers with tails switching a tarantella
Clacked their castanet beaks:
Big Bill
Black
Big
Bill
Bill, slave
Slave, Bill
Digs Bill
Bill
