The True Book of Animal Homes - Allison Titus
I.
A job does things to a person, deducts a person pretty brutally from life. Desks are terrible places, no matter how many wheels a chair might have. You can’t do much about how drawers fill up.
—Gary Lutz
OFFICE: GOOD STUFF OLD DOMINION TAXIDERMY
Do it the right way and the prowl gets put back into the tall grasses behind the tract houses the highway pins
to the skinny
acres, the less desirable acres. The pelt and claw get remembered, get to resemble their former habits of borrow and crawlspace
and slink the backyard
landfills for busted deckchairs and wigs to nest in.
This is how you might resume where you left off: penmanship tailored to feedlot plus hitchhike.
This is how the professional mounts the folds of a leftover body, easing the wood wool through
the form removing the dead from its
muscle. Skulk and drove and bone dust braced in the plaster,
my poor
pet fox whose eyes, closeup, are so clear, so bright, the shrubline fixed in the distance of them the rabbit’s torn up ear pink petals of insulation tufting the ditch and there, see
the bramble snared
glint of the
noose
held there hardwired to the nothing that’s
left of it.
