shit

the navel has a neck

[it glistens]

bullet arm aims

fires evenly / retreats around corner

spit blood

veulenvrig | veal

strike match

open door haar

licking arm and groin (human & dog)

at arm’s length

a letter burning

in a frying pan

smoking dear john

slap on the meat

pour over cognac

watch calmly

as the veal

flares

and doctor draft

rolls up your sleeve

injects you with charcoal

smears your lips with ash

and you lose yourself

like loss
