He stole my uterus. The Medicaid doctor I mean.
Then he cut off my breasts and sold them for half

price to Ed Gein who made my nipples into a lamp

switch. My ex-husband knew Ed well,
but thought women were more useful alive.

He locked me in a basement apartment

with a baby–both of us sick
with the Asian flu. When he wanted sex

he pointed his bow and arrow at me—
but got the Eros role confused. He made

his own arrows on the dining room table: bright
orange, neon green feathers, balanced precision.

He woke at 3am, put on his camouflage clothes,

and doused himself with fox piss.
Climbed his tree stand and waited.

Those deer, they never had a chance.

Ed Gein, a.k.a. The Woman Skinner of Wisconsin, was America's first known psychopath.
