Picture, in your mind's eye, a buffalo.

Now picture that same buffalo
mating with a lizard.

As you are picturing this,
try to imagine what it would be like
to emerge from the womb
of a shivering wolf.

And then you will know
what it means to be in love.

And you will feel a little better
about how far away
the edge of the universe is

as it expands like a
frog's throat,
leaving behind the past,

Because the past can hurt.
