Scavengers' Reincarnate

Leaf litter
tucks crimes
under its sleet
as snowcovers
and drifts away

wheelbarrows

We outwork
daylight under
the table
in channeled hollow
limbs
and swallow
soot

Secrets
churning
closer
to stardust. Born into
decay, I swallow galaxies
to spill their guts

At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
