Parable

Gregory Zorko
· in ,

The parable of the woman who eats sundials is like that of the river-snake with no lungs. She destroys the cornfields and leaves only the rabbit’s ears. Terminating the light and the music of spring. Teeth of the axe, teeth of attrition. Teeth like fingernails plunged in white yolk. Egg of our death and the ankle-shaped stone.
