Dead feet
in drugged snow-
reminisce rigor mortis
in shallow pools,
originally made for wishes.
Therein lies a snapping turtle;
jaws of unyielding teardrops clench memories-
crucifixions in the name of empire.
Sodden teeth dot the floor with death dust,
where sand and blood are fused into sacrificial
glass.
