you made a cheap promise
that you’d hold me when
the bulls started to run.
a fear of hooves. a fear
of rippling brown hides.
I have a memory
of leaning out
these windows,
watching the animals
take to the cobblestones.
I let my scarf flutter
down to the street.
It disappeared
in a rush of muscle.
everything was
reduced to thread.
