—so you canter close
to the roadside, hay in your hair &
rotten crocuses. Even
in all this wind, horses crying

& chickens stuck to chicken
wire, you whisper. I don't know where
the whispering is—

The pale wheat moves like gazelles
on my legs & you break the wheat
something to say.

There is something to say.

Small dogs puddle under me & I try
not to smash them.

In Epistles
      Artaud dies
  He drinks
  Things my hands
The deer here
Seeing so many things lay about
  When the executioner's tired
  Not a real deer
  If he is seeds
  I would wield a large pair of scissors
By counting
He says so
He tells me to move
The time being
You touch me
We refuse
There are locusts
