5. FEATHERMUCKER, You said if you need something to bite

lyrics

FEATHERMUCKER

You said, If you need something
to bite, here is my hand, my fingers,
my wrist. I bit down hard.

When your skin split, I choked–
you bled feathers. They tumbled out
like dice, a bet I lost filling my lungs,

filling my mouth. I couldn’t spit
fast enough, I bit my tongue and cheeks,
bleeding now myself, sucking muck

into the swamp of my throat, dark
mud, all thick and grit. You moved
to pull fistfuls of feathers from my mouth.

Hopeless. You still bled, feathers
flowing from your wounded hand.
I panicked. I clamped my jaw shut.

You said, Open up.
Motherfucker, Open up.
