Meat Habitats :: Angela Hume

EXCERPT

a hook      shock 
in the cortisol 

night      sign 
over a door 

in riotous green 
neon blinks 

freedom      inside      
blood      acts      sounds      

collapses   
into acquiescence 

woke up to the stun
of a body intact 

you thought your body was your own

but a body is not a boundary
a door is not a dam

THE BOOK
