raze
i
used
to
dig
them
out
of
the
dirt
behind
her
house
,
slender
spears
that
weren't
much
more
than
weeds
to
their
maker,
and
hold
them
on
my
tongue
to
taste
their
secrets
.
(
i
won't
repeat
the
things
they
told
me
.)
you
set
down
six
slices
of
a
terrestrial
bird's
breast
meat
,
plastic
plumage
still
intact
.
i
take
a
bite
and
spit
out
childhood
, flecked
with
fat
and
feral
.
