mia (reverse centaur)

walks backward

into a fire station

eats most of a curtain

and all of two moths

that got in the way
2.

foiseach (one-toed, hoofed)

bolts face first through

a pizza hut window (ouch)

dies from injuries

at the salad bar (sad)
3.

ash (extant subspecies of equus ferus)

tosses a frisbee from his mouth

(there is no remarkable sound)

the disc takes silence with it

caught in the jaws of angela

(fixing a midnight sandwich)

is imperceptible in the light-hungry kitchen

(she didn’t even know you were home)

when you flick on the light
5.

cluain (equine-related concept)

eats a wallet they found

on the dance floor (amusing)

you don’t clock them chewing

on account of the deep house

and begins the evacuation

by convincing a family of whales

to beach themselves
7.

aduantas (no foot, no horse)

licks both sides of a dvd

and reviews: one side is sweeter

but now I must disappear inside

the forest yelling about money
8.

evening (205 bones)

kicks a broken link (502 bad gateway)

into the side of a moving bus

and a passenger hisses

back with increasing urgency

and politeness: my tongue! it is

not unlike the fossil! of an unexploded

bonbon! remember this!

warmly!
