Tuesday poem #615 : Maria Hardin : Devotion IV

 

 

be your own pony
your own mother
birth a world without fathers
lose yourself in the holy ghost

the cosmos is withdrawing
but we just want to keep on touching

as longing impregnates
the soil
the humidity
our lungs

as wild brains lag
as wild horses cease to exist
