and I will draw breath from the stuttering stairs
as beneath the voice
where only the ears are allowed to kick and scream
she bathed in the beauty of passions bounty
battered and hung to dry
with egg white and mango brain;
and the wheel that spun across her back
with chestnut shell and roasted turkey beak
will crawl upon the circuit of her hell
towards the melting of her second son
caged with the tumour of hermaphrodite skull
on sawdust floor when once a seagull sprang;
and I will find solace behind the heat of her labelled hate
in her sanctum of forbidden release
where rapes the landscape of her pitted paint
needless for the eyes - her sprouting room -
her asylum of testosterone hair
in footsteps of carbon print;
what is it this lady of the brisket mask
should alter the course of invasive task?
her world is mine for the betrayal of sunstroke and melodic grief
her insubordinate limp a protest to relief
drawn, slaughtered and slain
with egg white and mango brain;
