| I could only stare |
| at those sharp brown |
| skeleton heads |
| |
| those four long sticks |
| angling oddly out of |
| xylophone torsos |
| |
| terrible shrunken |
| old wise men- |
| children |
| |
| staring dully |
| at some white-fleshed photographer |
| who captured them |
| |
| scraping pasty dole |
| from dirty wooden bowls |
| and slowly licking bones |
