David McAleavey Violence 1. Bad anatomy Frontal lobe, temporal lobe unhinged for clarity, for display. Broca’s process, unhinged. Hemispheres divided, subdivided, broken out in this instance into pieces, into mush. Bad luck, bad timing, walking on the shady side. 2. The remains Disposed living or dead in water, earth, fire; or dispersed from a great height as droplets in air. 3. Late warning Like looking down as you carry the new battery four blocks to where your car has died – the old Karmann Ghia with rusting rocker panels – to find your jeans already soaked & thinning from the acid – blade in, already past your defenses, turning. |
