EQUUS AND UNICORN

a lonely potted plant balancing on it's visceral plantation
the girl must have been in bass for 6 generations
sheep's blood on her door, though not of interest to her
trapped within 14 foot ceilings, might as well be a fishtank
please no more safety first
from inside the box she can't reach below a middle C
teetering the keys with ancestor's knees
desperate for 700 horse power, she tries on the horn
no need to mourn, unicorn
will no longer be a guppy of a girl
thrashing about on the hardwood floor stained from the carpet pulled up fresh
dissolving into magnolia wallpaper,
she opens the toolbox where she's kept all her friends,
7 rolliepollie skeletons wound up like teenagers, her first encounter with death
"where is my shelless turtle?
make me moist again
make me new like him
make me safe with him"
"i've read about me, give me to me"
a rapunzel and samson love story, that's what i want
"little seed inside a prune, is it dark or is it noon"
i'm stewing
unicorn, i will cut off your horn castrate your power adopt your name
with your remains i shall have a hornless limp lifeless body
with our powers turned mine i give myself an Equus God
Equus, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
unicorn am i and i will love with the intensity of a thousand suns
white light and pure power
i must escape from these walls, denser than plaster
i will create for myself a sovereign master
i will birth you and you will be deformed
i will have the baton and i will rule in treble
you will be closer to the soil and i will rule high above domesticity
i will be the creator and you will be my God
to worship and woo
like a muscle
i will ride you like a saddle, i will whip you like a human
"oh oh oh my equus god" trot trot trot my heart goes clippity clop
he'll rape you dry if you leave your mouth open gawker, you're no geisha
humble peach mumble and proud the taste of salt water and cloud
don't invite him in, your nipple will curdle and raw
desert you and your sagging inevitability
by manipulating me you've manipulated yourself into needing me
the creator versus the created
our synchronicity is overruled
my actions have been preordained be an impersonal agency
the body is not reciprocating
i will torture you until you denounce 50 or 60 names
i am the angkor empire at it's height of regional prominence
i apply you like khmer rouge
steep steep stairs descending central sanctuary
Equus says "but you are my rice dream, you gave me the disease that makes my eyes hurt"
"your antler has potency, but i will be treated with reverence"
he pierced me with his shoe
i am godiva under the sun, why haven't i won?
you are my castrati singer
singer of glee
singer of Handel, won't you handle me
angrily i plea, castrati castrati, let me be
"Equus, your soul is black as pitch, mine as pure as the driven snow"
"but black erases white so 'kill ugly one horned mule!!!!!'"
"i miss your whiskers chafing my delicate skin, please Equus, my loving burden, a living end"
you were once me- i created you and you were left over
castrated
god is who you're performing for
so dance on my grave you silly bastard
