Morrison Writes...

Gaps filled. Milkman’s past revealed. Hagar suicides. Guitar disappears. Solomon flies. Reyna cries. Sweet complains. Jack died. And later floated. Life saved, past saved. Lives taken. History repeats. Corinthians loves a madman. Places named after people. People named after things, symbolically. Circe watched dogs. Milkman regrets his “own stupidity” (Morrison 335). Pilate dies. And he sings:

Sugargirl don’t leave me here
Cotton balls to choke me
Sugargirl don’t leave me here
Buckra’s arms to choke me

Reyna’s same song for Solomon. But for Pilate, from Milkman. Guitar’s the murder. Milkman flies. And never dies.
