grafting face pristine
calcutta concrete
oiled black wings iron
office hands bulging
down the bare spine
ribs splayed
talons perpendicular
to the body (does the brain impulse
survive as the body cavorts
headless?)
chai wallah sweltering
puri bajji
gold watches shine money spent
wrist flicking
swathes of vegetable oiled
rice patties
ants festering the sepulchral feast
under
unholy cow shoes
grazing without grass
on concrete without consequence
