LOUIS E. BOURGEOIS
October
My father buried a fish in the deepest woods. Liquid death poured from the fish's
eye. The fish was still half alive. A gold filling lay in the carp's red mouth where
an infant sea turtle still swam. My father was a madman in the dust. A liquid fire
began to inflame the radiant night. The moon is an unhappy sugar, melting in
emerald smoke. No one can save us here, thought I. Please help the little ones,
as I crush them underfoot. I kept thinking about the red carp's mouth and how
my father buried the carp without a prayer, then I began to eat pork. In mystical
light I stood with something in my eye. God help the little ones, I crush. My
father kept burying the fish. He buried it fifteen times before he ate it. Oh,
mystical one, the birds are in a rage and the does are beginning to growl. I'll
take my father, wash him, then eat him, like he did the fish, then the trees will
finally eat me and I'll finally have an orgasm. Oh mystical one, the moon is spent
and the sheep are dead under starlight.
