And what of the dead They lie without shoes
in the stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed throat eye and knucklebone.

Watch out for intellect
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down
mouthing knowledge as your heart
falls out of your mouth.

Previous Quote
God went out of me
as if the sea dried up like sandpaper as if the sun
became a latrine.
God went out of my fingers.
They became stone.
My body became a side of mutton
and despair roamed the slaughterhouse.
