Bravery
Elisabeth Horan
All white light and yellow braids
Astride small prehistoric ponies;
Galloping
Fearless into the abyss
Slain men
Lie waiting
Father Odin - expecting miracles and burials
They are
The Cassandras,
The Cleopatras
Lady Lazarus; Red Phoenix
Rhys, Rich and Browning
They are
The Housewives
The Lesbians
The Bishops
Catching the shredded rainbow grouper
They are
The lonely Emilies and
The Pounds in the oven
They are
The tired mothers;
Endless survivors -
They are so loving and so angry.
They are in
my head
my head,
my head -
Echoing hoofbeats
Deep in my cochlea
