CUT
What a thrill -
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of a hinge

Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.

Little pilgram,
The Indian's axed your scalp.
Your turkeys wattle
Carpet rolls

Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle of pink fizz.

A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.
Whose side are they on?
O my
Homonuculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill

The thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur, Kamikaze man -

The stain on your
gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when

The balled pulp of your heart
Confronts its small mill of silence

How you jump -
Tramped veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump.
