Ode #2 to Leatherface, America’s Dark Angel

Kenneth DiMaggio

A chainsaw and sometimes
a hammer

A blood-splattered
apron and jeans
ending in cowboy boots

—hair
tousled up as if you
just ripped off a hat
while riding a bull
at a rodeo

Texas to the bone
Texas where
you committed
your massacres

We just never saw
your face behind the
mask made out of skin

a mask which made
you look anonymous

but which still put
terror
in your anonymity
