Harvest

A Poem by Katy Daixon
"

After "Prepare" by Danielle Grace Warren

"
The man nooses her neck,
sprays her hide with his watering hose--
her dark-slick skin
reflecting the white--the morgue--of the garage

and deflecting droplets onto his arms.
With his blade-point he slices
from genitals to throat--
her back sturdy in the other man's hands

and like a hound of Artemis, he
rips open her rib cage--
with the crack of an electrocuted tree limb--
tears out the dark entrails

then rinses his hands in a tub of clear water--
her blood, so wild.
