I follow the split wall
down through the cage bones
there is an urge to cup
the entrails, to bewitch
feel the carcass flow
in union with the downslope grass
meat relaxed, unlike the numbers
pressed into the casing
snow in dialog with sun, an equinox
of hunt and hunger
shows how good it is to struggle
to redden, like indebtedness
the hammer of a final zero
its empty mouth quantified
or the revelation of three digits
quivering in the still warm cavity
rolling dice, stirring tea
spending a Saturday stacking rocks
so I can clear my throat and step
into the black, throwing it over my back
taking it to the vault to cool, and breathe
where bliss is golden
