the fog rolls in a putrid headless thing trailing its jaw on string
where is the edge of the forest? mother’s grave
[i am i am i am]
severed at the neck dragging the head of a dead deer screaming
[summer flesh ripe rotting pores in the sun pour water quench the throat fill the rot run the flesh higher stretched pale hollow translucent breath on water lake swings rope frayed death soak the dirt autumn hair twisted wind swept leaves cracked skin cold lips bitter blood burn the sheets burn the sheets burn the sheets burn the sheets]
