Other names which would probably suit

Him, Greco-spirited, quick-footed

Achilles with two perfectly indestructible heels.

I took the next for some kind of

Foxheart finds the holes and lives in them

Makes the dirt clean and the grass yellow

The color of happy faces

And liver disease

And eats the carrion til the bones are clean too

White as purity

Fairy rings circling errors on the pages of grassland

Red on green

Painted.

This is a beautiful thing, this place

These rolling changing hills

Of us

Unlikely equals

Licking the same wetness

Dew-blood-rain-stream

Does my blood reign king

Over my many limbs

Or do they

Or do they get on me&

get me&

do they get me or get me&

they don’t get me but they get me&

I start to get them despite not getting them&

it’s alright because it’s exactly what my foxheart needs&

now the holes are just holes&

the bones are white as a kitten’s cream.
