The Meal
i will chew the faces
of Mount Rushmore
whose grit cuts
my soft, lofty throat.
as i swallow rocks
sharp eyes bruise
my red insides.
intestines curve
at bitter angles.
fossil bones
liquefy beneath
earth’s hot spin skin
while i fish kiss
important men
in statue form,
before i begin
my meal on them.

at her local beach in Connecticut. She passes her time knitting and watching bad Syfy channel movies. Her work has been

for their shared fondness of dragons and large, friendly dogs.
