“When my mother-in-law dies / they bury her face down / in case you want to go out / go lower. / With my mother-in-law’s bones / I’m going to make a ladder / to go down to her grave / and kick his skull. / With my mother-in-law’s hair / I’m going to make a scourer / to carve her daughter’s navel and below ”.
