.

the dead

are legless
having drunk too much
of life
but follow somehow
in our footsteps
like love's
weary
echo

A prose poem about a hot October

@lagahoo.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 10:18 AM

Chaos beckons me
Illusions of calm waters
Deceive my reason

Tight surface tension
Suggest the calm Façade hides
Severe rip currents

When it is hauled – dissolving, hard to see
as what was once a human being –
out of the winter lake,
they gape in silence:
puffs of vapour stand for voices.

Brought to shore, it lies upon a canvas sheet;
the brightly painted rowing boat
is dragged up on the freezing mud,
and those with jobs to do leave in relief.
The rest look anywhere but at their dripping catch,
and wait until the surgeon comes
to certify the thing is dead.

It’s whisked away,
laid out upon a table, stainless steel —
and then the slicing and the sawing,
and the grim performance
of the modern haruspectic rite
that seeks for omens, not of things to come,
but of the past.

Here, trapped within the folds of grey,
a bullet’s found, striations mapped;
upon the wrists and ankles, barely visible,
abrasion marks.
The organs bottled, tissues laid on slides,
and dental work recorded...
finally the closing, crudely stitched.
The corpse is slid into a chilly drawer,
the table’s sluiced,
and there’s just time for sandwiches and tea
before the next one’s wheeled along.

Examining the entrails, though, brings no success;
the days drag past, then weeks,
and after months the clockwork of investigation
slows, winds down, and other cases
take its place.
The human jetsam – missing
certain bits and pieces – is reduced
to smoke and ash, unmourned, unmarked.
From water into air, then fire,
and finally it’s laid in earth.

Sunday morning view
the calm fills the space between
one thought and the next

I reclined in slumber but never woke.
So tired, the mountain climbed me instead.

The path is stony
distant peaks slowly appear—
long and steady steps

; notebook trusted with
unspoken secrets // poems
written from the grave.

veins bleed pain as ink;
trauma etched in bone // shadows
of a haunted soul.

A poem titled

Eggshell

Traditions hang from trees
Traditions take your ears off
Put the prize in their pocket
Ya. That's your fucking grandpa
And I hope he fucking rots
As do you for a fashion
All G's are B's
Hashtags for body bags
But when the plot he stole
Lands in your lap
You'll split your knuckles
On the vice of the grip
You'll say you made the world
A little bit better
Call us intelligent
And keep your inheritance
