"Daughter."
And this whole book, it started with the idea of, like--
I'm saying "like" a lot.
It started with the idea of Heart
of Darkness, a ship, a trip, and just starting
where the last one left off.
Because imperialism, it obviously never ended.
"So, what if you just got on and kept going?
What comes after Kurtz?
That's where we are now.
Daughter, imitate the wood dispersing words across
in the first verse.
This, a river I understood, and there, confer with butchers.
A curse worse was found one day and the day after.
Raft, knives, from this land, this soul confession,
a pile of heads will talk to you from the other side
of the water."
