Lascaux

"get back, get back,
you don’t know me like that!"
Ludacris

When the guests had left
Henry went into the bedroom,
closed the door

by putting a gigantic stone
in the cave entrance,
cave paintings on the walls greet us.

The antelope stand gracefully,
the horses are in mid-stride,
the arrows

fly through the air
at prey unseen.
Our animal instincts

are only satisfied
by their satisfaction.
Afterwards, Henry shaved.

His chin held hair
against the razor.
A trapezoid lay by his lover.
