WHITE EWE
1.
In the heavens horses do a dance
On the ground stands a black square
Between them errs a white ewe
With no when no where
2.
The white ewe in its errancy
Eschews all sensibilia
A member of the family
Where no one is similar
3.
The white ewe has no eye
Ear tongue chest fist
It is neither yea nor no
Does it exist
4.
You die in a cell with no heat
You die in a cell with no bread
You don't know who you is
What is the point of this
5.
The white ewe in its errancy
Builds pyramids of fire
You have not seen the sun in so long
Bombers rock the city
6.
Death stands in the middle
With a bow and a fiddle
That it has no riddle
Is its riddle
7.
To the right an expanse of ice
My great-uncle makes the peregrination
Upon reaching his destination
He is slain by chicken soup
8.
The white ewe already lacks an I
Its site is short
Within a single pronoun
It holds court
9.
The white ewe came to be by parthenogenesis
As fit for object strange and high
It was begotten by desire
Desire is a virgin
10.
In tongues she is the anger of chance
Death sits by her sickbed to see
Water water water everywhere
Freeze into ABC
11.
Where are you beautiful islands
Where walks the white ewe
Where the dead know no loneliness
Where what is, is not in error.
~ Eugene Ostashevsky
