Perfect

Katie Fowley

Katie and I cleaned together.
Perfect.

The sheepshearers came today.
Perfect.

And in the morning
the milk was perfect.

A woman of the cloth.
Perfect.
Fell into her cloth.
Perfect.

The animal stink
perfects the animal.

Katie and I slept.
Perfect.
In a perfect blue dress.
I went after her hands.
Perfect.

The animated hand.

The rain gathered up.
And the path was
too perfect to stop.

I went after the cows.
Perfect.
I went after Comfort, the horse.

I fixed my love buttons.
I fixed them again.

I woke up like this.
In the hard rain.

Was getting wetter at the pump.

Katie and I fucked each other.
Perfect.
Considering all the things that bite.

I took the tucks out of my skirt.
Sounded pretty. Perfect.

Enchanted girls in a bark box.
Perfect.
Made a bonnet out of black lace.

She calls herself a huntress.

Dons male apparel
and adopts an inner life.
