we picked our way
down to the beach,
watching the waves
dragging out of our reach:
tangling tails, like a sodden sheet;
dangling entrails
from the gut of the sea.
hoarding our meals (alfalfa and rolls);
trying not to catch
the cold eyes of the gulls--
i hope mother nature has not
overheard!
(though, she doles out hurt
like a puking bird.)
we stayed for the winter.
no-one told us
about the laws of the land.
i hold my own.
but you, with your hunger--
you, on the other hand--
make yourself known.
and when we were found,
i know we both grieved.
my heart made the sound of
snow falling from eaves.
you and me, bess,
we were as thick as thieves.
so i swore, nonetheless, up and down,
it was only me.
they took me away,
and, after some time
studying my case,
must have made up their minds.
by the time you realized i was dying,
it must have been too late.
i believe you were not lying.
it is the day.
i wake,
with my ears cocked up like a gun
(like every day, of course),
yanked by my wrists
to the sugar-front courtyard--
now tell me, what have i done?
it seems i have stolen a horse.
i step to the gallows.
who do you think you are--
arching your hooves like a crane,
in the shallow gutter
that lines the boulevards,
crowded with folks
who just stare as i hang?
it’s all the same.
kindness comes over me;
what was your name?
it makes no difference.
i’m glad that you came.
forever, i’ll listen to your glad neighing.
