stalk,
the shaking rain
of white lies split in my head
whored forgotten to snakes;
in footed trees that grow from my chest
crickled in the occasional drunk root,
and a well-stirred death,
in ashes I subside.

I wouldn’t call this butchering words, but it does have a lovely chopped-up feel! Thanks for the shout out 😊

I agree Ingrid-wise; It’s far less word butchery than finessing and finagling disparate parts.
