after ‘Hatred for the Healer’ by Jordan Cherian
at the bottom of the / echo / after the squawking of / the sodden ground / shades of brown and black / awoke /
the land /cut off/ let out a deep grunt / was a healing place / before the / misshapen / birth / after the destruction /
caricatures / crawled, hopped, and stalked / into / deep bodily depressions / and sang with twisted associates / their own peculiar sounds /
observe the gash / overripe / far too violent / for the healing /
there was a sound from the bushes / lone / and repetitive /
hiding /
after a /
kill /
