Horses
Can you hear the horses?
The hoofbeat heartbeats pound as I rest
my head upon your chest. There's no time to ride!
The car exhales in the garage while we consider
an endgame. Carbon monoxide gathers, silent
in lethality – the best in you was the worst in me.
Can you hear the horses?
The hoofbeats and stairs-creaks tell me
you won’t be coming back to bed tonight. Did you
advertise your emotions in your dreams? You try
to hide romance behind cigarettes and red wine, but
these nights are told by black spots and loneliness.
Can you hear the horses?
Oh, I wish you'd ride your dark horse through town again.
It's alright – I love waiting for time to pass. Someday you'll
come around and the walls won't hang around to hear.
You can have a day – you can have a lifetime, but the pain
is gone and the carbon monoxide tastes foul to me.
