Piercer
Your longing is a moveable object
Even if you don’t feel it so—
Wild horses galloping from star to star,
Their hooves like railway sparks.
Pull back, says the archer,
Your hand in a ballet with the
Silken string. Two lamplights
Blink at you, like a haunted car,
Then depart.
Can you stalk
Your desires in their
Daylight, in their indigo?
Can you locate
Them in the dark?

Then depart.
Can you stalk
Your desires in their
Daylight, in their indigo?
