Words by Kiler Davenport


Words are the cutting knife. The magic wand of those who know how to use them. Words lift us from the earth. They renew the heart, mind, soul, and spirit. They split the atom and destroy cities and displace the people. They bring forth creation and spur the imagination.

What are you doing with your words? How are you using them? They are the most powerful weapon in the earth. Dancing together in swarms and knowing not themselves. Connected and attached to things. Alone they are worthless.

Silence is golden and a place of rest and refuge. Words will shape the universe and take us to distant stars. Words are the precursor to every baby born and the future of the offspring. Remember this, my friends next time you open your mouth.

I was completely surrounded by blood and guts from a very early age, due to the fact that I started hanging around the fire station at 14 years old. And back then I was going out on calls with the units.  It was nothing to see 3 or 4 dead bodies a day back then because I also worked at the funeral home and hung out at the ME’s office watching them do and many times assisting with the autopsy. Plus, my dad was friends with the top funeral homeowner in the city and I hung out there all the time too, and I learned to embalm and dress and do hair and makeup on the dead. Then we would box them up and make them ready for family viewing.  Now just down the street from the funeral home was the crematorium, and they always needed help lifting these very heavy bodies into the ovens, so I learned to use the retorts an...
