Brevity

Always shit to stir up

Send violent wishes skyward

Then usher my eyeless destrier away from the spiteful saltbite tide

No stirrups, breast Burren bare and hairless still

The ephebe who kills, the beech without leaves,

In hopes that his violent, hope-raping deeds

Will see his legacy exceed

The briefness of his zeal’s chiefdom.
