PART FOUR
The Butcher
⦠turning in the brain to wake
with wires behind his eyes, forking the joints
akimbo. He wakes, wired,
forked fingers crackling, gagging on his tongue.
We wake, turning.
Spined against the floor,
his spine turning, chest hollowed,
air in the wires, sparks
glint from the wired ceiling, tapping
his sparking fingernails. Coughs, cries.
The twin behind the eyes coughs, cries.
The dark twin doubles on the floor, swallows his tongue.
Splashed to the dark pole circuited behind
the eyes, the dark twin snaps his spine free, slaps
his palms against the ceiling. Charged beads fly.
The ceiling, polarized, batters his cheek with metal.
Tears free skin. Tears ribs,
torn pectorals of metal curved away
black, behind the cracks, dried,
that are his torn lips. More.
Buttocks and shoulderblades grind on the floor
gritty and green with brine.
They wake.
We wake, turning.
He, gargling blood, turns,
born, on the wet floorâ¦
âfrom The Dark Twin, M. H.
