Begin with crow-bone
moon: a stage for it.
[Enter girl in mouse mask]
Then hook her like mouse.
Plasma play: redless blood. The prey of it.
[Exit mask]
Blush her bloodless
cheeks. Blind the grey of it.
[She attempts to exit. Do not let her leave]
Smile a cheekless grip-
spit smile: she’ll obey for it.
[She kneels]
Touch of tongue shuts off
a light. Gripless, she wanes with it.
[Lights directed at girl extinguish one by one]
While she sleeps, clip her
tongueless. That’s the game of it.
[Do not let her leave]
Strip her sleepless, thin-
cold, then blame for it.
[Leave her]
the shame of it.
