Mockerator’s Appearance on Fingers

Black goat, give me your black horns.
And you girls, give me
damp trumpets
so that I may frighten
the one who is untying himself.
Black goat, give me your icy eyes.
And you girls, give me your first compact mirrors
so that I have something already in my palms
because his face unfurls
across my hand.
My hand branched out into my fingers.

—Novica Tadic
