minuet
raze
hours
pass
in
minutes
,
and
the
only
available
food
comes
from
some
strange
buffet
that
doubles
as
an
unfinished
oral
history
.
an
artist's
life
boiled
down
to
a
series
of
snapshots
.
each
year
a
monochrome
minuet
with
a
single
sentence
burned
into
its
abdomen.
tattooed
traitor
.
poisoned
palm
.
he
never
looks
happy
.
not
even
when
he
knows
he
should
be
.
i
couldn't
tell
you
why
they
got
rid
of
the
test
track
back
there
.
but
i
know
why
that
smug
soldier
took
a
bullet
between
the
eyes
.
kick
a
wounded
animal
around
long
enough
and
they'll
chew
through
your
soul
,
broken
teeth
and
all
.
now
blow
the
dust
away
.
