"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

this poem is a huck

i re-crucified Christ this morning  with my new

holepuncher  bought for a dollar  at the dollar

store  where almost nothing costs a dollar  anymore

 

what a score!  i labelled it a tool of transformation

along with a tool for crucifixion  a slender #11 blade

exacto knife  now sitting next to my mother’s huckmesser

 

a weapon of mass destruction if there ever was one

used on  chickens  cows  and such  to separate spirit

from bone   i once used it on a brother’s foot

 

he resembles a chicken in many ways  but that is a story

for another day 🦹‍♂️   exposed sinew + blood  did not make

me popular  around our house

 

these tools sit on my art project  pictured above  it’s about

the nature of memory  are we passive witnesses? is memory

a mirror?  an altered state?  did u find a Red Queen there?

 

 

my archive showcases the 1st pandemic year  the beginning

of the end for my  Queen-Mother   OFF WITH YOUR HEADS !

her favourite refrain

 

the very same hawks  who carried off a cancered brother  now

returned to carry off our mother  5 bomb dived me in full PPE

on the balcony   as she lay covidridden on the couch

 

their screeching woke the near dead  scattered throughout  her

retirement rez  a stopping place on the banks  of the river Styx

certainly all the children who  placed  their parents there

 

will

reconnect

in hell
