in cool desert camouflage
halt in April snows.

Beer cap, crown of thorns,
ghost at Ground Zero six-pac
empty - no return.

Imagine our surprise
in such a tear-down & rebuild-type town
to see you not dismantled
when the cranes leaned in to peel
away your façade & to pick
you down to Tyvek.
Nude women’s rooms, we, two
gay men, assumed;
avoided you in the Capitol’s long shadow,
passed each day from work,
even inside your steel lattice
cut us up with shadows.
We didn’t know you grew another
coat of bricks
to race the changing season.

The lakes held the summer’s end’s dark green,
algal, shit-sustained through the century
& through massive progress,
through regress and demolition—
they killed the train
before they finished the station—
did the workers fasten a tube slide
of hooked-together garbage cans
from your window, hung
there to drain drywall, 2x4s and chairs
as across the street we ate
bagels and watched dumpsters fill.

Horses

He made his living as an entertainer. He said he trained horses to fit themselves into tiny spaces, into closets, when in reality he would simply cram them in until no more could fit. Often, the animals wouldn’t last more than a few shows. There were two horses that survived surprisingly long, who were so used to being stacked on top of one another that they would automatically have intercourse. This quickly became part of the show. He would open the door after a minute or so and three to five frightened horses would pour out and expose two pathetic copulating horses, their terrified rib cages bent, bellowing frightfully as the audience would laugh.

Grease me I'm lonely
look outside my window to the hole divine sense
call for hands
told her I didn't and crawled off to control it
of love, fists to the tinkle
never takes you very baby, so I braided
One night to push She went into my rug, drinking her

Sermon's over say you're going
