Certain Cells - Kris Davis, Esperanza Spalding, Nels Cline

I call for you

Cultivation of strength in the dark

Dark gardening in the vertigo cold

In the hot paralysis

Under the wolves and coyotes of particular silences

Where it is dry, where it is dry

I call for you

Cultivation of victory over long blows that you want to give

And blows you are going to get

Over what wants to crumble you down

To sicken you

I call for you

Cultivation of strength

To heal and enhance in the non-cheering dark

In the many many mornings after

In the chalk and choke
