[evidence]
grandpa fisherman oversees the suturing:
fishtails to primate torsos, post-mortem.
materials include fishbone needles,
human hair, pincher ants’ mandibles.
sprinkling crystallized salts to desiccate,
his hands dance in fish-cleaning manner.
the art, grandpa says, is in matching
the corpses. to suture is to fix a hole.
trashy talismans bring dollars to tip jars.
