Boxes, Cast of Stillborn Colts and Calves: Sculpture Nicola Constantino: 2000
-after Eduardo Corral This is how the dark sleeps under your feet: boxes, wells, drain pipes rammed with bodies discarded in haste. Contorted bones splayed in a mass grave like a stalk of grape stems. Veiled by a curtain of black sediment. Their bodies: broken branches buried underground. Once, I tossed an armful of sticks into the air: lightning. I thought it was a rustled beehive. How small beasts are angered to kill.
