a woman
in muddy underclothes
looking at all things
starless
feels frog bone
nudge
the base of her skull
as her friends
wade, dive
and wrongly
mourn-
it’s only her costume
in the water.
it will become the small talk
of Halloween
2013
and vanquish
the split apart
three year old
apportioned
to any phrasing
of the inmate
on the Ohio row
who on the day
of execution
dressed himself
as a God
easier found
than vein
