HARD THOUGHTS

between he & she is colonial.

I am a stranger in this land
& guilty of a certain brutality.

like Zeus     his head hacked open
& a daughter buried in his brain

I think hard thoughts of you

& love is born      to skid
dangerous and delicious into. 

From of Elephants etc. Wellington: Untold Books, 1990
