His hooves plowed through
your shut closet. In your bedroom,
you got weighed down
in a hailstorm of uranium.
An aquitaine occupation,
the horse neighed a bucking desire
to call your womb, your egg mistake
his territorial property.
When you stepped over to calm
his haunch, he snorted a punch
like Pa’s fist across Ma’s jaw.
This spawn burned scars
into your fallopian hallways.
You felt a pulse reverberating.
The ultrasound revealed
a hole in my spiked heart.
