LLorona



It is when her dress tear
that I realize

this has no end

To her
we are all brown chairs
and hands
left by a restless dance

The eye wipes itself
behind the enlarged ear
and the tongue
heavy with wax
now singing

with her

even after she falls backwards
on stage


A man dressed as an eightlegged kettle enters
to teeth clapping
out of rhythm

He then collapses
and they carry him off

Damn him

How hard is it to be a kettle ?

Is it that fucking difficult to wear a dress?

Is nothing safe anymore?
