Levade
Rent from DeepDyve- Levade
I know the name of the first horse I ownis prophecy for the way I will die.
Are you that horse—all the keys on a piano
played at once,
half child–half eaten
apple? Your teeth mark my future:
beaten water,the rush imbedded swan,radio waves—rising, striking, rising,struck
hive of glass, bees, woman
face down in the water.
Now I feed you from my own palm,ademonstration of faith. [End Page 105]
