The Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again the stars were plucked
\nfrom her mind and the world below
\nleapt up and sponged her with its flame.
\nThat summer she made a wish upon her chains
\nand walked the deserted farmyards.
\nThe ravens followed her through the weeds
\nand heat, keeping up conversation. At night
\nshe sang to the beating of the rain and stroked the head
\nof the dead bug in her pocket.
\nShe was neither of the mountains nor of the desert.
\nShe was calm as crazy sometimes gets, and the thunder
\nhissed out her name as the June’s morning rays
\ndanced her a sermon. She talked
\nto her shadow when the birds had gone,
\nand her fingernails were brittle as cracked ice.
\nOn the seventeenth day her breath collapsed with
\nthe rising sun as the cobwebs about her sparkled, stirred
\nby a sweetened wind.<\/p>\n
