Excerpt from You’ve Got a Pretty Hellmouth

Are we the last
one standing? Is

there room in
that car? Is that our

blood? There are only
two reasons to be in

these woods and I want
to fuck them

I’ll die right after
the first joke, the second

jump-scare. I’ll die all
the way through

The flat tire. The distant
window light. The up-skirt

with panicked breathing
The empty train car

To walk away alive, burn
it down. Don’t mind

the frame. Breathe. Burn it
down. Don’t

wait around to scatter ashes
