And the Ponies
Sarah Sarai
We lottery-won this green complexity.
Blew it on payday loans and
the ponies.
Worshipped complementary
theologies, soul as battle, body-as
-battleground.
Reckoned with an insect-madness
hungry to shape our will. Still,
I learned to have fun.
Until I remembered my mother
sat reading the Bible while
disintegrating more every day.
