You call me
bunny
You pour the wine
You bury
your never-village
in the snows I am
crowned
your buttermilk
youngling first
to the scene
Pulling a foal with you
the chestnut lives
I dry him
I remember
the other
first
filly dead in your lap
I accept the
substitution
your “Osage” & “keets”
your “handbells”
& “red bag”
for hard fruit
guinea fowl
giving
placenta
before mouth
