from Lucas de Lima’s poem, because:

while they gallop their horses to death
the men’s eyes get bigger
the swelling of the roots that upheld the sky
merging me & pinto, rainbow & cloud
the crisscrossing of myths in a scream so loud
it wakens the razorbacks
a ripple across the herd
every cowboy unhorsed by the roaming
of continental horses 8,000-10,000 years ago
the unseeing no longer allowed when
the arc of our chicken bodie
s emboldens the point where sky meets earth
where me & pinto wash our feathers
we don’t know what we’re preparing for
but the infinite seeding of our constellation in the horizon
this place & unplace
a point already red & black
where me & pinto wash our feathers
we don’t know what we’re preparing for
but the hurling of a rock thru our bodies our thrashing & singing on every scale
