a

plate of

bruises : fuel

& taxidermic déjà vu :

alabama up throat streamlining sal(i)vation : some part in

a play that replicates charlotte corday outside the bathtub

in twenty-four movements : beauty as a living organism : signs left

by dead insects crushed inside the motel bible : luncheon meat &

asphyxia by cardboard : how sound wears down the foliage

of trees : a broken guitar has hung itself by its strings : this after-

taste that is someone who may be

missing a page

or

limb
