Theseus’ Cargo Ari Vergen
citrus walls emptied look within the peel I mean the orange peel touch juices slipping down the sides recall the meat was ripped away the way we would pluck a strangled goose feathers stuck under nails under white rind from this vacant cave I mean the orange, peeled peel empty is it still an orange the same way the strangled goose is still a goose I mean does the orange stop being the orange even when a goose loses feathers and breath it’s a goose but dead I mean I feel the torn tendons in these slices and the seeds leak from its plucked chest so when does the orange stop being a goose
