weasels are underground, waiting.
they want skin.
weasels are snorting cocaine, underground, waiting.
they want skin; they want hair.

weasels are snapping babies’ spines, underground, waiting.
they want skin; they want hair; they want blood; they want muscle; they want bone; they
want marrow; they want gristle.
weasels are underground, waiting.
