Break Free

Horses

           climbing inside.

The fish are unprepared

Ropes.

          I snap them.

The under-water garden’s

Iron is moaning,

                   the eagle flies away,

A fear of atoms spinning;

A new universe begins.

                 We take off.

The crash is multi-colored

Galloping

                Pariser Platz behind,

                the shadow of man ahead,

                we’re learning how to speak

Hya! Hya!

               They chase

               On dangerous stones.

                

From within the statued chariot,

                              in the smoke,

               in the lamplight,

an egress!

 

Let the horses take the blame.
