masks
Morris stickless;
ash diesback;
Shelley shades Castlereagh.
Joe Hill died
for sins of consumption;
bloodied spray of
straitened journeys
Vatican-bound
deep-fried
deep-dried
enhusked for seasonal
enpinionment
on sacred œstral
moist-lipped tongue
engroovement
eating the sacred heart
with domino offering
ritualistic denial of
identity,
at least until next time,
when the gyre turns again,
presenting a new face
to be sacrificed,
consumed,
nailed to its
painted mask.
