Stringing the Mandolin, 1770
Angelo Angelucci, by the Fountain of Serpents, hollowed seven-month-old lambs, submersed for seven days in alkaline their intestines, combed them, braided, coiled, stretched them across rafters, them drying blonde like her shook-down hair:— he favored it put-up, but with a puttanesca spoor pinned into her bun:—wool-thick, a tuft to clutch and sniff. Of the cut, he said eviscerare, pfft coltello, meaning guthook, crooked his finger in her neck’s notch. Butcher, he drew netherways.
