Child, your inheritance
January 19, 2023
we hold ---their corpses--- our children
by their ankles
dangle
downy ---matchstick colored duck yellow-- heads into
fire
we love ---steal-- them as
newspaper skin curls, black
shaved ice smiles
charcoal
they scream with
throats full of sugar ---syrup we gave them--- forgotten
on our stoves
yes, we love
our children
but our chapped hands are not enough
