Pomegranate — Poetry with bits in!

Meat

by and published in Edition Two of Pomegranate

Counters in a game,
it pours from the cold packet
to spit in the pan.

Ritual: the turkey
carved up like an instrument.
Wishbones are crackers.

The animals loll
in this pornographic farm
not death nor dinner.
