Through
the
gas‐soaked
flesh
And
the
fish
sulfur
Of
this
house
Through
flutebone
And
mudbone
Through
the
reconciliation
Of
iron
/
Splinter
/
Beak
of
fire
And
the
exposure
Of
my
ghost
To
acid
/
To
fumigation
/
To
suffocation
To
the
eviction
Of
my
ghost
And
the
starvation
Of
my
ghost
May
this
fin
Of
horse
flesh
Between
your
teeth
Extinguish
your
effigy
Deliver
your
effigy
From
harassment
/
Tar
/
Arrow
Deliver
black
amnesia
Here
as
I
hold
the
glove
of
live
current
Like
a
bouquet
of
goldenrod
And
I
dissolve
you
From
your
ghost
On
the
tongue
Of
my
father’s
fever
In
the
verse
Of
blood
mouse
And
of
spume
