Dread

How simple, the beheading. Dread

It is also an illusion—diseased internal organ

floating in internal fog—You

could stuff it back in after pulling it out

or you could look at it carefully in the sun

It is also a projection—

awful shadow puppet on an awful wall

Also, a god, all-powerful, with a voice, without a tongue

It is a season, too

The season in which you carry the dead thing

up the mountain in your arms

only to be given something squirming in a sack

to carry back

Or the season in which you are given

the incalculable sums

and a lined piece of paper

and nothing to write with. Add it up

Animal shudder. Something’s coming
