Each day
the statues seemed a little closer
the markers Charles put out
to measure this
were stolen during the night
birds' nests in the eaves
in sporty colors
and the 10 pound sledge was missing
what else was in on the plot?

There was an outre statuette,
As evil as soapstone could get
a virgin's-blood bath
and its aftermath
a night that we'll not soon forget
