about

Set on a Georgia plantation, a "high yellow" (mulatto) slave frees himself while his comrades watch. A drum-and-bass, spoken word odyssey of the mind into the shadowy places where a murder was justified. Fiction, of course.

lyrics

..."Boy been bad?"
This message echoed and dribbled down like sap
into the crags of the Kaduna's lower gorge
bleeding slow and seeping sideways to stain stripes into stone
where his brother taught him to hunt..
Where he once tackled a wild dog with his own dusty hands,
hands that curled into claws
that gripped and twisted the light from eyes once free.
An awareness of learned devilry.
The death tendered to his imagination
a chance at denial,
and his own brutality rearranged itself in the situation
of what justice is,
what the judge can do,
and why to do it.
Yellow knew it....
