The Future, Greeting Majority Members of the Supreme Court
Believe me when I say
I will lick the bones clean
I will suck every last succulent drop of marrow dry
My tongue
running along femurs and scapula and vertebrae
Time hindsight it will make an excellent garnish
Before each meal my lips split in a prayer as much as a curse as much as
a prophecy for your legacy Do you wish to know it?
My tongue will shine as if blood-dipped gold a martyr's tongue a poet's tongue a God's tongue
Years after you're gone it will find you and your vows and carve a savory damnation into your calcified remains
Believe me when I say
I will make an Eden of your decomposing history your final regards
I will make for my children a language cast with the graveyard dirt that holds you still and silent
In this life your limbs will bloat with greed and pride and all those sins tattooed behind your eyes for easy practice
But in the next
In the next every particle of you every hair and tooth
will become dust only the blood on your once-wringing hands vaguely calling out from the past
Believe me when I say I am coming and I am famished.
