Sick horses

They don’t know nothin’

They don’t know nothin’ at all

So give me, so give me

Teeth I can chew with

And just enough of that horse meat

To keep me all skittish

And oh

These teeth that tear

I know

Even predators fear

Scared horses

They know what’s comin’

They know what’s comin’ today

So feed me, so feed me

Horse hide and bile

And just enough taught tendons

To tie up my smile

And oh

These teeth that tear

I know

Even predators fear

I will never

Look like a lion

And I will never

Burst from the grass, to see

Take to flight, sink the bite

And drag that dead body

The meat I devoured

All but exhausted now

Bones I have carved into poems

Hard angles stabbin’ out

The hell am I eatin’?

Horse shit and silage

My plate is steamin’

Like the adage

Don’t look your gift horse in the mouth

And oh

I know

Dead horses

Love to do nothin’

They love lovin’ nothin’ at all

So cleanse me, so cleanse me

With bleach and ammonia

And just enough of that horse meat

To feed the nostalgia

And oh

These teeth that tear

I know

Even predators fear

I will never

Look like a lion

And I will never

Burst from the grass, to see

Take to flight, sink the bite

And drag that dead body
