\nBravery was nothing, call it the escaped whelp.<\/p>\n
Call it the emotion with no memory & no count, no<\/p>\n
Rhythm and therefore no record worth repetition<\/p>\n
For the keeper\u2019s account. Bravery was nothing<\/p>\n
But the dumbest animal\u2019s ability to stand and stand<\/p>\n
And stand alone in the pasture past the time<\/p>\n
Others felt en masse. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I would not think through. In<\/p>\n
Order to allow for every hoof you have to harm<\/p>\n
The hard-packed earth, I stood still. I am I am monster<\/p>\n
Of endurance for you, it happened while I was holding<\/p>\n
My heart in a bag by the bag I keep my stomach in; I told<\/p>\n
You I don\u2019t need to eat\u2014you eat. I\u2019m admiring you, your<\/p>\n
Babied teeth and curated crawl. You<\/p>\n
Ravenous wolf, you whip. I want to be a bride\u2019s<\/p>\n
Maid all my life in your eternal train only because you<\/p>\n
Promised to marry<\/p>\n
Everything; only<\/p>\n
Because I\u2019m the bitch<\/p>\n
& you\u2019re the doggess I did it for.<\/p>\n
Hound-girl, would I have come to believe there was light<\/p>\n
Worth love without your howl? I mean<\/p>\n
To know an unshatterable<\/p>\n
Slant, resilient<\/p>\n
Strain.<\/p>\n
Of all the concrete covering the earth,<\/p>\n
Also all the low pools of dim dark glow,<\/p>\n
Also in the end even I when alone<\/p>\n
Ended in the street, with another,<\/p>\n
Explaining I counted on you to count myself and having lost<\/p>\n
You, I was only<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
I need two<\/p>\n
To know I was<\/p>\n
One.<\/p>\n
I needed the forgery<\/p>\n
To know I was unforged<\/p>\n
Creation.<\/p>\n
