animals clothed
animals clothed in
yesterday’s night sweats
run into the meadow
clothed in concrete
always checking the time
watching and waiting for
something to change
ridden by women
women always laughing
without smiles
lightning rinses out their minds
while the clowns touch each of them
the women greedily
guard their prey
and strangle them
by the telephone poles
(somebody tell them
what went wrong
stop.there’s.blood.everywhere…
