Dancing

By Susan Isla Tepper

Over there is a cow
and others
there’s a barn

Odors accompany them
chewing sounds

There’s love
clearly you can’t see
or hear

Its ravishments
screams
blood pooling

Deep as sinkholes
inside

Summer nights
I sat in the window
blackness a relief

A cat stretched on the fence
Illuminated by the moon

Dancing had become
out of the question
