3960. ABSENT THROUGH LANGUAGE

ABSENT THROUGH LANGUAGE
And this is how we re-name things  -  
marigold peace love. Peace through
strength. Man lives, man loves, man
loves meat. Animals die, happy to be - 
and happy then not to be; to be sacrificed.
We eat their silent death, not knowing
their screams or their horrors; we say.
-
I'd like to do a real installation inside
your brain  -  hanging my pictures with 
nails in your skull. From the inside out  -  
you wouldn't even know. Absent through 
language. Absent through language. Absent
through language. The death of a scream.
