back IBE LIEBENBERG
don’t bring your 6-year-old daughter to a wild horse auction, just bring
a horse home
she will trace the shapes of scars
ask where each one came from
why are they called wild?
she will try to release each one
only after naming them thunder
cloud
and the one called poorly drawn stars
is the one she chooses
then asks about freeze marks
the burn to remove freedom
she will tame our gaze on raised skin
and the brand flinching
discipline refusing body
the wild not giving in
