June 23rd

Grocery bag wraps crow corpse in purgatory for purposes of poetry; coffin-condom keeps flies from impregnating with maggots.

"Prices lower every day!" written as an epitaph on the side of the plastic casket. Rot-stench rising. Fermenting on an altar of cinderblocks during dawn, beneath Polaris.

(This is failing to dispose of yesterday's carcass, instead packing it up and pushing it off to the side.)
