Cease, Cows

Omen | Kerry Campion de Santiago We cradle a palmful of little black seeds. I expect them to jump - like fleas. But they stay flat; dead. They clot together in a bulbous mass like a tumour, sticky and clumpy in our damp hands. We scrape them off - and watch as they plummet to their glass coffin. We dump some soil on top: burying them alive. After a month their tendrils, their spindly little limbs, remain unsprouted. Their soft heads uncrowned. They need moisture 12
So you cloister their world in cellophane to make it rain inside. You’ve covered the mouth of their universe which gapes open like a moon. I’m reminded of a child with a plastic bag over its head frantically gulping - I feel my stomach for kicks. 13
