The Day of the Goat

Buy goat fuss feed

early day go pray

return greet steel nerves

knife throat slit blood

tie hang remove skin

cut meat pieces small

cook eat distribute

day long celebrate

Language

Today,

I string a few words together

make a necklace out of them

little diamonds

how you love to wear them;

oblivious

that tomorrow, they will morph

into new meanings

sharper still

then a day would come

when they choke you

cutting deep
