A lament for Basquiat<\/span><\/h1>\n

[published in RN 06 in September 1992, original text written in French translated by John Taylor]<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You painted rattlesnakes on the subway walls<\/span><\/p>\n

New York City<\/span><\/p>\n

grows wild inside your spinning mind<\/span><\/p>\n

a drawing constantly<\/span><\/p>\n

in need of a fix<\/span><\/p>\n

of Black music<\/span><\/p>\n

of Brooklyn Bridge rumbling on its African Foundations<\/span><\/p>\n

and you sleep Pharaoh admist the masks of Akom\u00e9<\/span><\/p>\n

the fetishes with their ivory grimaces<\/span><\/p>\n

the anonymous image on the back-side of doors<\/span><\/p>\n

on the rubbish heaps<\/span><\/p>\n

the scrap iron searches for your eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

to ascend into the dream child how you played with spray paint on the sad city blocks<\/span><\/p>\n

the traces of the meaning just as quickly beneath the oxide the tidal wave of silence lurks above our heads<\/span><\/p>\n

way down there in the prophetic distance young kings are still dying<\/span><\/p>\n

so that the story can be told so that the nostalgia can call itself modern<\/span><\/p>\n
