2 cups favorite beer sifted flour
3-6 cups oil depending on size of cavity
1-2 lb. whole fresh heart depending on gravity
of sin. 2 tsp. salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder
gently brush off any dirt from the heart; heat oil in fryer
stir up remainder; dip heart till it shines like honey (bee’s)
give heart room to breathe; don’t overcrowd the arteries
remove heart; set aside to drain excess grease on a paper towel
don’t knock it till you try it.
maybe that about godrape bothered you
but it’s an old hat tattooed inside an eyelid.
don’t call the locksmith; break the deadlock, close the shackle.
don’t worry; it’s safe, lawyer approved.
this is a recipe you don’t add water to.
to ring a drip
from parched parchment
this soul cloys the mouth
this soul wrinkles
like clingwrap
this soul, perched in shade,
sleeps in song
fat on the shadow of wings
acral-licking-
who can say
no what I’m saying
is who is
able to say
who has saying power
this soul with a purchase
on the porch of mystery
insomnia’s aria
a ruff better’s millstone
this granuloma weeping choler
