a stallion lunges
forward
threatening
warning
hoping you'll
back off
you're licking your lips
at the horseflesh
hungry as a lioness
you grin
into
oh this battle
of flesh on flesh
a victor
a meal
or an escape
and i know tomorrow
having imagined myself
there so often
winning
abate your self
interest
create a space to buffer
passion
and the instants
that used to
save lives
that now
confuse
enuf is said
in one day
to save us all
yet we fall
continuously
is this direction
away from home
and mom
it draws us back
this vein of tomorrow
this fount of can i get there
this loss of
losing
i am found
on a line
by you
here
thanks
i needed found
bound to this thread
of breath
til it fogs no more
and we kid ourselves
until then
or live
