-----

Oh, these wild horses,
How to reign them in?
They gallop so
The gut becomes a trampled steppe.
Things are seen through their eyes
All round staring fearful flashing
Hair and dust
The smell of sweat
No bits no reigns
No lines to tie them.
Only this running plunging ache
And the precipice
Holding misty views
Of distant mountains,
Nearer, nearer
Then we fly.
