JIM BOND


JIM BOND

“that brute
progenitor of brutes”
—William Faulkner
Absalom, Absalom
________________

Jim Bond is out there—
somewhere in the swamp
cold, sullen and moody

Some say he’s crazy—
and maybe deadly like a snake
if you startle him
______________

After the Sutpen Mansion—
burns down with Clytie and
Henry Sutpen up in the attic….

People are still wondering—
about Bon’s crazy grandson
handsome, retarded Jim Bond
