The dagger to ******
The Slowness
Crafted from exotic metals
It takes years
To prepare
For this
Ceremony
The fat, tricky body
of the Slowness is taken
and put
on stone altar.
Ripped - the blood runs out
Forms streams on stone
Then it is left
to dry.
The Shamans scrape it off
-it is dark, crumbling and wet-
drumming & chanting
they put it in pipes
and inhale the fumes
to complete
the Ceremony
The spirits are freed.
