[My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun]

transmisogynists seek hymen lie / “true” he

of her (methodical rip)—rare, red snarls

(boyish hair)—sew wet hernest—the fawn burned

(forehead aglow)—hew sinew, ribs, herb, iris—rack

(shed winterdead horns)—i evade seam, ask

crush to hush (be creeknoises)—seen,

hunter deems doegore ripe filth—miss-name

me (thinnest break / froth)—meaty thrash stirs me—

we heal horse ankle, wive elk, pity root

at high moon phase—cum-salted fur—a strain

in weaving—doe rode stag—grass

grew monstrous and kind—amethyst hews her less

than ivy—oh leaky, needy men (a starverib)—

my she peels, watches a boar in a field.
