The Rider

Folder: 
Wind of Change

I enter in a large white room

 high is the ceiling

 straight are the walls

  round are the corners

  door lies across on the other side

 

in the center I see

 a large black hat

  square in shape

   drooping it is

upon the head

 of very thin man

 

a guitar in a case

 lies  across to his back

  a long wooden bow

   across to his front

    a single long black arrow

    with long black ribbon fetching

 

he reclines upon skeletal chopped bike

 black is its color without any chrome

  resting on its side stand

   tilts to the left

 

seeing him I circle the room

 going counterclockwise about

  following the wall around

   the door on the other side

 

passing him as he

straightens up and starts his bike

 begins to go backwards

  clockwise around the room

 

as I entered the doorway

 into a hall that spirals down

  his black arrow passes under right ear

   continuing on and strikes wall

 

turning counterclockwise

 I spiral on down

  close to the wall

   continuing on down

 

he follows me down

turning clockwise coming on

 and with every turn

  the long black arrow

   passes under my right ear

    ribbon fletching fluttering behind

 

Spiraling down we go

turn after turn continuing

 I going forward

  as he follows me down

   and with every turn

    the arrow comes again

 

as I downward go

 my counter clockwise turns

  stop on a landing

   cannot go on

 

he following to me after

 in his clockwise turns

  continuing backwards

   his arrow still flies

   continues on down

    no landing for him

 

 

upon the landing I sit

 watching him continue by

  going continuing down

 

hearing a voice say

 I must turn and go the other way

  if not to continue down

   if I would go up
