laying on the table
burnt out,
contorted fossils
your lineages penises
dried up artifacts
lying in wait,
lined up neatly
10 in total
a collection regal
arranged for a visitor to see
my father
his father
& his before
crispy yams worth their weight in gold and in favour
'As you see Douglas was exceptional. . .
