tell them therefore

tell them therefore seven death ball

arrives arm skull protectors arrow leg

wings skull owl words death framed

jaundice backpack died flute write

mother descends steps mouths names

rivers stung drank pus four roads

effigies laughed bench burned

sitting cramp burns house sleeping

cigars round dark shattered torch

entered cold teeth it b'alam

bats clatter house then that buried

also head burns tzima tree

calabash and heart watch steps

this now she was blood heard

said cut lost skull branch spoke

hand spit spit skull merely son

speech ruiner in word enter said

thunder sudden home spit gathered

blood moon name gathered
