Yes, Andrew, I will read the part of Tituba
and we can call it resurrection play / he said then we can call you
nigger / in character and no one will get in trouble / and I
said describe exactly / how we are supposed to inhabit
each other / precisely / how do we strike / down the devils
distracting our lust / for a fight / with an appetite / for extraction
I plunge my stripped throat for a no / my refusal / a gouged mouth
rejection / tongues my tender / gum / hook socket / what language
a thread / or the artist’s hair / or a crow a sign / a chaotic twig
the arrangement / who was that dancing / so deep in the woods
my neck nape / a foundation / for slosh / my perimeter exposed
the loss / holding the books in my hands / the waterway
of tight curves / open this place / my lips foamed / formed
occult accusations / a stake in the ground / my heart walls thin
as night / beating and lonely / beating the only sound / what ceremony
