But
for mounds of crumbling dung the old horse
has disappeared. Ropes of dried dog shit lay like
braids piled atop a faker’s
head.
Wearing
a cloche hat with a feather sticking up,
a demon is standing at my door trying to get in.
“Go away!” I yell. “I don’t need you anymore!”
Like a
bird rising to where
my
thoughts were,
a poem begins:
In
January, Poseidon's bull gores fat clouds,
causing winds to moan in as myth pregnant
with glistening horses emerging from seas's
sodden bed
to gallop across the sky as gray
cumulonimbus beings.
