THE THOUGHT MARE
-
John Charles Ryan (Australia)
The Thought Mare
plateaus across canter
wordless to edge mere
of world-rough dermis
infields rimple by step—
In She
steep is Thought mere.
See She body beneath
at piece asleep wooded
prone thigh-seep peace
wind-brush bryophyte feld
wimples quaver by cleft—
In She
Thought is gorge seethe.
Touch She timed-etch
brusque in pangeal purge
plummet from glyph fold
schlerophyll of peripheral
trilled winged falsetto fill—
Is She
Thought in mottled flesh.
Olfact She diacritic
frill
smokespiral from abyss
waddle width praematurus
in yellow dentata sublingual
her velvet curve belly burst—
Is She
Thought in I must keel.
