                                            "puteo algunas veces, y me dicen
                                                
qué le pasa, amigo
                                                   viento norte, carajo

                                    
    ̶  Julio Cortázar, Fauna Y Flora Del Rio

            
           We watched you come out at the forest edge, how
           your mane riffs crossing fields. Needs visors purpose
           pointing, that one. Oh, you left stable 'breds' back
           there? Here's hope . if Snap! they break 'n' streak.
               
          
You could learn a lot more hauling something; we 
           got
tracks you race on, steed work programs . and long
          
long ago they lined you, brushed you snorting,
          
up for saber tooting charges.

           Good wages? sure, and after sunset you saddle
          
down : right over there. No, you shouldn't come
          
any closer. Tight fit, now! make hay ride whispers.

           The nights are dark enough, often more than fear
           
lindt white can handle. Still, brute or brain, shed
           
'n' bed, up for the jelly the belly heads.

           You probably need sore hind rest, too; hard herding
           days we all feel coming. It's usually nothing, our bad
           form eagles sort 'n' clip.

           By early light . whoa! hold! what chord slides hornlike
           at the dawn . shift airing what? our sounding firsts set
           free . what time again?  and how things are now.

                                                                          – W.W.

                 The comfort of lonely days
                 the taut freedom of clocklessness
                 the heaviness of a dense cloud
                 the sadness of a stretched balloon
                 the trembling of leaning
                 of the house of the idea
                 of a self without having
                 to fall, or any lower
