Unbridled (Napowrimo2020, Day 12)



















There are days when the moon starts eating itself
The darkness around, an escape; and in counting stars
You hear your heart beat; as time becomes a sea dragon,
A silhouette in the horizon, body stays ashore and you swim
Swims relentlessly for solid footing in the wild wind
Carrying deaths and penury; you become a wild stallion
Of prayers and turmoil. Nothing puts you under bridle
When you catch back your body the wind swirls into your self
Like an unfathomable trance; when dinner gets served
Life falls into the routines of a masked calmness, sleep
Is a bruised nurse on whose lap the body rests,
The black stallion still awake, staring at the horizon…
