SILVER FORK
*
It is social etiquette
to use a certain silver fork
small and engraved
when
plunging into the
morning dove's tiny chest
and making ones stomach
a grave.

A HISTORY OF SOME OF MY PAST LIVES  
*
In private, cannibals eat canned balls
while at public carnivals gather carnivores
to eat putrefying pate,
gangrenous goose flesh,
pigs murdered into pork,
the cadavers of cows subdivided,
the corpses of sheep murdered into mutton,
the carrion of baby lambs, the carcasses of crabs,
deceased deer, decomposing ducks,
the rotting remains of castrated rams, which after Spirit has left, remain
the muscles of mussels torn before their time,
the offal of lobsters boiled alive after eating
their meal of human waste in the sea.
Vultures and hyenas eat unembalmed dead bodies,
but the FDA allows embalming with formaldehyde
both in funeral homes and meat processing plants.
All dead bodies swim with colon bacteria (ecoli).

NIGHTINGALE TONGS
*
Ancient Romans ate
nightingales' tongues..
near birds' bell-throats
were no ringer tongs
*
SCULLERY MAIDS
*
They scalp the scallops
near the scullery's
mound of skulls..

from the flesh she carves
flow blood stream scarves
To learn to kill
requires certain skills.

PARROT IN A PEAR TREE

Parrot in a pear tree
Nightingale in tree of nut
Sparrow in a tree of spruce
swinging oer the hut.

SQUIRREL ON A TELEPHONE WIRE

Tightrope walking squirrel
Angels protect you as you
tiptoe above the traffic swirl
