slave girl

I have visited your cruel terrain
you are swollen, insipid and vain

yet youu twirl instruments of torture
as though you possessed honour—tenure

your teeth rot,
your flab glubs like
olive oil
churned rotten

oh,

my killer—my rancid one:

yellow is your colour,
true and five-pointed.

How is it that you disdain
hygiene in favour
of something

I cannot  quite
wrap my death around?
