Cow Eyes

one more day
just one more day

to kill your memory
and wash away the sin

I’ll use a bolt gun and straight 
blade for the slaughter 

a gambrel hook and clothes 
line for the hanging

your pink nose and cow
eyes will crumble in the wind

and I’ll dance on the mustard
ceilings of our farmhouse
