Sound of Hungry Animals
There was a sound of hungry animals at night
or animals in the pain of their coitus
or the self-hatred of their inseparable pack
grieving, and beneath my conscious prayer
in the relief of the cool and humid darkness
the one spirit spoke betraying my desire
for some good of which I could never be aware.
