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
