ass

by Tempest Miller

A donkey bites my hair

a bear hides in a tree

but the donkey kicks back legs into a woodburner

and lets go

in the external world

which my psychologist friend describes as ‘oceanic’

the donkey finds and eats another donkey

lodged at his benthos

and assumes his form

and runs into the desert
