horsey ô horsey
ebony horsey
horsey
un ebony ocean
horsey
beloved
black horsey
beloved
beauty
collect
bones on bag
go with grâce
to garden
stop
at river
wherever you are
close eyes
caress torso
you tore
into
ribbons
flying from cliff
shift
sands
from
vase
let
leavings
vanish
beloved be
by death
bed i lay
still
reading
letter
you gave
to guardian
translating terror
within this
thorax
moment
to
moment
gazing
at granite
of your eyes
watching way
you brought white
robe
hung
it over
painting by person
from 16th
century
sorrow
sewn into silk
though
covered in thorns
be beast
singing you spoke
so clearly
that morning
not so
long ago
after arriving
by battered boats
on sea
of skin
of skin
you
gave
word
standing
there
staring
like rain
over bed
i lay
truly
broken
broken beloved
& you knew
that better
than any other
leaving
with lamentations
you saw
through black
sun
& its heirs
you came over
carried sheets
from death
bed to window
bed to window
crowd
with horse
crawling along
past us
taking
off turquoise top
cleaning
sheet after sheet
until only rags
littered room
some paper
i scribbled
letters
to you
wherever you were
dancing death's duo
getting through
natural
force found us
leg
against leg
hip against hip
robbing wrong
from regard
i'd grown
getting used
to annihilation's
absence
came rolling
your body
into me
beloved
horsey ô horsey
ebony horsey
harvesting her
who was in
me
undoing knot
after
knot
night in night
you knew
what it was
i was
doing
devising
diagrams of distance
intimacy
kneeling
we kneeled
neck
to neck
washing with tongue
altered
anatomies
inside
out
we witnessed
each other
from floor
looking out
at space
where we dug
shallow graves
for each other's
heart
when that had
to come
& it came
with each
& every caress
carving
cosmologies
from tears
turning us
like lathe
lovers
we would
become white
wall
hiding history
of how hard
we were
obliged to be
before
before
rains
horsey ô horsey
ebony horsey
beloved
black
beauty
dances
no
doubt
sleeping so
loud
the winter night
we kneel
we kneel
when
fatigued
from flight
into one another's
wings
conceal
our clever secrets
with sweat
saliva
semen
remembering rain
of body
beloved
horsey ô horsey
