you see the buds get swollen
and the swords in the body
for weeks, for months now
thrush/dead bird/strangled youthit starts in the heart
and kills the foreign front
because we're not united
and we're all in a pitsome of us smell funny
and some of us are decapitated
decaying and hanging off
highways feet first from a rope
