Maybe you forget these pointless hills.

And the horse that gulped down air in the one good year

of the excellence of its greed.

When his fingers were on me, I felt a violence

open called loving him back.

Which is to say, it's a difficult place here, God.

Do you relate more to the dove or the snake?

Would you rather be harmless or stupid?
