Lionel Amongus in Response to Sarah B. Boyle

.
HISTORY

will just not stop nourishing these little fucks. The vaunted
cockchafer continues to eat. Eros decorates
its smokey wings with wine-dark justifications
for sucking the shite out of everything. The shiny
little bug in the grass, its shiny eyes, damp squib,
cock up.


If I could straighten it all out
make a plane of microknives
all pointed toward the northern magnet
a storm might roll its belly out first
turning the bugs forever on their backs
shifting


wings
like the mirror-backed locust.


And then, walking on my hands
eyes like green sails, clothed
in the sun and Latin’s fine accoutrements
esuriently,
I would take my meal
and then wipe the collective mouth
with the back of my blazing hand.



Lionel lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her fish.
