one night stand with a horse
by Olly Bryan
she had the face of a horse
and the breath of a beast
in the elevator
we staggered
into each other’s mouths
she pouted under the ocean
of our stupidity
she scratched and she howled
i frowned
lusted then shot
sick with regret
i walked Bristol four in the morning
half cut loose head
that night
i loved her for a second
but i also loved overpriced drink
pompous upstarts
and pretentious art
fuck it
the past is laughing
at me
but i’m going
to laugh at
today.

Loved this one. One night stands are shit.

Yeah I got this, enjoyed this. Was expecting an ending that brought me down like one night stands do, but I liked that this ended upbeat, despite capturing a depressing moment in life.

on the contrary, i love a one night stand, just not with a horse.
