Chromosome Death In A Blood Garden

Jasmine Reid

 

call grass the clutch so here we are    watered
mom ripped to  what hands hold
tinker-fertile remaining   blood let to blood left
a daughter shed   under earth  dirt dirty
pissed on   dead as devil    dance on devil
stomp stamp sent  with broken neck
what you get    blood blood breath
x’d over                   x’d over
fecund
fecund
x marks the end
x marks begin
