Death by a Thousand Cunts
The Chinese
had Lingchi
used to slowly cut
strips of skin
from the body
with a blade
then of course there was
the Spanish tickler
thumbscrews
the rack
& brodequin
most would agree
Western Europe
has moved on
since then
become more civilized
but here in Italy
if you’re not careful
they will still send you
to the department
of motor vehicles
and if you’ve been really bad
to the post office
