Cover art: Silver Island, by Carly A-F
You build your house on your father’s corpse. The grounds are overgrown with patches of bramble and thorn – your father was a hairy man. The foundations, its borders, are shifting, amorphous. The tides come in and wash away the shore. Your house is built on a bedrock of flaking shale. Yes indeed, this is your father’s body: his chest, his arms, the degrading slope of his gut. You walk down the hill to draw water, and you have to watch your footing. Navigating your father’s corpse is a perilous affair.
Sadoeuphemist, “You Build Your House on Your Father’s Corpse”
