The Incantation of Poodle

May 20th, 2025

The right luck in the wrong place An immigrant’s shelter in a priest’s home A different version of the same task Every piece a cost.

Half wasted by fools I arrived alone and singular The truth is owed The Poodle has mastery.

The smell of sexual sweat Reds, blues and golds What was once done by any means Will be done again by any means I profit from potlatch.
