FERAL IS OUR NEW DOMESTICITY

“become a creature of war! DESTROY!

…no, not like that!”

 

a horse named Regret is the first filly to win the Kentucky Derby in 1915

65 years later she is followed by Genuine Risk

42 years after we meet in a Jupiter cazimi

you tell me that carnations are the most abused flower

milky oat tops calm the nerves

how you almost became a bull rider

and that you can smell the iron when I bleed

 

I lay down
stressed out and sexy

 

my one trick is that
I am a homing pigeon for good leather  

and I can make psychic pasta

 

we dream of having two dogs named Chess and Poetry

 

my sweet shield

my Joan of Arc

coming to meet me

in the field of haha
