Enduring the snow

 

 

2 Poems by Jessica Madison

In Fairness, she was

naked except for that fur

(the one from Orient Furrier), she said You’re only kind

to me when- and pricked

him with her mothy needle.

He walked all the way home in the rain.


He thought he might as well have

shot her in the stomach, since it was raining

and the world was almost over

Sun Chariot

As I said last time

I left in chains,

I will not make salt of you

this time, friend.

[My horses require no water.]

“You’ll find them in a place

beneath the freeway.”

They said,

and threw it open.

[My horses require no water.]

It’s.

It’s someone. This is what they told me.

They told me this.

Someone

told me.

[My horses require no water.]

So what is this about–

it is so hot everywhere.
