9 Parchman Cell By, Jan Leighton Triggs (1961) I am in a cell with Rip Patton. Stokely is to our left, John Lewis to our right. We talk our words, sing our songs, and we dream Of fighting for freedom all day long into the night. We carry on, as Parchman Pen. creaks, groans, cries, moans, and we feel it in our bones. The naked black hearted hate made steel bunks and bars our cells of fate.
