Carrying my gallop

 


Flogged by walloping race

Amidst a perpetual chase

Fearing being left behind someone

Or fearing someone left behind

The finishing line is a horizon

It recedes with every clatter

Emitted by a fluttered mind

So what if the hoof pains and bleeds

Behind the rush on smeared tracks

Limps the crushed hoof of shadow

The dash started for stacks of hay

Those are now the burden of beast

The pastures are left stranded behind

As I carry my gallop saddled firmly

In search of a staggered stable.
