Sweet Thighs

Sweet Thighs 

When horses    had human

     heads and men    had goat

          hooves,    the world was

     a different place.    Half

          true, fully    alluring, birds

with cloven hooves    and faces

of lions sing,    or mock, myths

about wolves,    wolves who lurk

          until firelight dies,

then snuffle    at our sleeping

     twins to see    which we'll

          fatten up,    today.

[mythopoeia]

Mythos 

Half true, fully alluring, 

     birds (cloven hooves 

and faces of lions) sing

(or mock) poems about 

     wolves who lurk until 

firelight dies then snuffle 

at our sleeping twins to 

     see which will fatten 

up (sweet thighs) today.
