	[Andrew Savage]
	I’d seen the bloodlands of Antietam
	The shotgun shack in Tupelo
	But a brick circumference left hollow by Sherman
	Crumbling before me how it moaned
	His shape swallows my recollection
	That phantom silhouette implied
	Strange fruit rotting from an airborne and hotter than hell
	Is this the king’s last man I’ve spied?
	I stood there beside my companion
	Scratching a rumor he had heard
	Do you have a gun?
	What? He said, yeah, you mean this one?
	Straight down the barrel was his word
	And I smelt the fumes he inhaled swiftly
	Each word was hinged upon his choke
	Like kudzu creeping up a state tree discretely
	Forever bending as it broke
	And I heard the jangling keys of Graceland
	Ring from his teeth stained brown from coke
	Drunk and stumbling like a man of distinction
	They clamored shaking as he spoke
	Of droves of pilgrims at his doorway
	Of Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Gore
	Fortunes offered them, refused routinely
	This ain't no damn auction house he swore
	Black male standing around 6 foot something
	Ebbs through the waves of small town blight
	A minute coldly from southern affection
	Collides secretly into night
	Forgive those who trespass against us
	Began as the dead intruders plea
	Into the very muzzle I’d once peered into
	He gives the last words he will speak
	But that broken glass supports forced entry
	Reminds his lawyer through the phone
	What southern judge do you know, comforting gently
	Who jails white men who defend their home
	No souls were present for the moment
	His bombed out brick walls finally fell
	Lying face down in the throes of atonement
	Checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel
	He was the uncast shadow of a southern myth [x5]
