A new poem I’m working on

STAG-LERS ABOARD

A dominant partner will

brawl

to regain lost control

like an alpha god will

fight to the end

the will to win so

severe

The law becomes an

obstacle

The will becomes … law.

A steamroller will

crush

to rebuild a lost path

in the jungle of

She and He

no matter the configuration.

A rabid peer will

like a stag butt horns

like a rooster peck

coxcomb erect.
