Foal in the Sunlight
Foal in the sunlight
All eyes crawling to you
Spread your wings in burning dew
I’m clasping the clod
That set you loose
That broke the cloud
That keeps collapsing on
The heap of you
Foal in the muscle-slick of moonlight
All eyes flashing in recoil
Ocean foaming from the soil
Foal, floating feather
Flung from the flesh of the femur
I’m clasping the clod
That set you loose
That broke the cloud
That keeps collapsing on
The heap of you
