you go bats

in bone dry

dry flood

of night light

 

night night

 

there’s no need

now now

to be so shy

come and feed

 

the banquet

in the tower

 

the table set

w/ black flowers

(the pollen

is rust)

 

& great eggs

cracked open

a silver plate

and bowls of blood

 

raise the ghosts

from holes

i cut in the floor

 

holes i cut

with a sword

 

more more
