we couldn't see you through the stench / of upturned jars of rancid mustard / broken bottles of / balsamic vinegar / chardonnay and champagne / frozen bags of jambalaya / turned to maggots / cellophane sealed packages of hamburger meat / as gray as the slime they sat in / then I glimpsed your right eye / in the clocks pendulum / still counting out time before wrath and wash
--Excerpt from The Gutting by Jonathan Kline, from issue three of Yawp.
