for a bottle of red a coat hanger the school gardener would make us boys a skeleton out of that coat hanger working with pliers a bunsen burner he bent metal round around through gave wire ribs a pelvis a skull it was a game the shed was hot you had to unlink his thigh-bones to make him dance he burnt your fingers the gardener took off his vest remember the smell of black-orange metal he gave you a mug of warm wine how does a skeleton dance anyway you could feel the pliers on your thigh-bones the bunsen's flame do you still play his game boys have you seen metal glow brighter since those shed-days
"It's hard to say where this poem came from. It's part memory, sure, but reading it back now, it also feels a bit like an incantation. Perhaps I wanted it to act like a sort of poetic-charm and invite the reader to become one of the boys I went to school with, went to the shed with, so that we would remember together what happened there. But then again perhaps poetry is just as slippery as trauma." —Richard Scott
