Herr Coloniser

Herr Coloniser

The grief of my country 
is sitting in the corner of my stomach.

A pigheaded bacterium— 
it is going nowhere.

A garrison in my small intestines;
a dogged settler army of worms laying ambush.

I cannot throw up,
there are razor-wires dipped in my throat. 

The goddamn grief blocked!

From the broken spoon,
I have been eating Herr Coloniser!
