WE ARE LEGEND...WE ARE MYTH
WE ARE LEGEND...WE ARE MYTH
"Donall
Seanie...
SeanieDonall!"
My uncle & me
we are legend
we are myth
escaping from my auntie's voice
tracking us down
I sitting in the saddle of his neck
his curls my reins
traveling the world
on his giant shoulders
my uncle hearing
voices in his head
afraid of other humans
who hunt the thoughts
he's thinking
wanting to keep himself for himself
our beings fused
into one joyfulness
uncle & boy morphing into centaur
we are legend we are myth
we hide in haystacks
from her hounding voice
roam fields where ever empty spaces
takes us until there is only us
he more little boy than even I
"Keep me company!"
he pleaded
his thoughts all curly like his hair
we now one another
the last lost centaur
galloping off into a time
that no longer exists
we are legend
we are myth
*
and the boy grew out of my head
where I had stuffed him on my shoulders
and I became his walker of worlds
galloping across fields
running away from the voices
inside my head
that eat my thoughts
this boy I uncle
has become my mind for me
minds me
soothes the voices lies to the voices
tells them I have vanished
into the mystery of myself
and the voices fall for it
I watch them retreat
I move my feet n giant steps
the boy growing out of my head
sees the world for me
tames the world for me
so that I can laugh whinny & neigh
like the human horse I have become
no longer confused
fused into one being
him & me
drinking in a sunset
sniffing rain on the wind
galloping across time time.
. . time
time. . .
out of mind
