How does the broken wing achieve lift?

How does the split webbing swim?

When the broken limb buckles, 

and the swollen, crystal-filled joint cracks,

how does the gnarled finger grip?

or the hair clogged ear hear?

What do the burnt eyes see?

Mostly in the flesh, the fallow weight delights. 

Mostly in the flesh, the collar tastes the best. 

When your pearl-white teeth

Gnash hard against your cheek

The Oily blood spells out 

rimed sequences of thieves.

Where is the Prince? Where do you see him?

In the quiet atrium

Singing ancient Hymns.
