Exquisite Corpse: Day 1

A chicken’s head
Pornstar tits
A mermaid’s tail
Clown shoes

The folded printer paper in elementary art
Is the way I now contort myself
Back and forth for strange body parts

At the bedroom showing of our diptych
We paint a disjointed picture
Foreign parts collide
Disembodied hands
Alien legs
Your twisted heart
My heavy head

Arts and crafts in the bed of a stranger
Let’s make these broken bodies
Into something exquisite

Prompt: "As with pretty much any discipline, music and art have their own vocabulary. Today, we challenge you to take inspiration from this glossary of musical terms, or this glossary of art terminology, and write a poem that uses a new-to-you word. For (imaginary) extra credit, work in a phrase from, or a reference to, the Florentine Codex."
