It rains on New Year’s night/falls hard on the roof the
sound of horses galloping in unison breaking stride/marching to the end of the
word/peace remains elusive/in hearts troubled by love illicit/a matter of
perspective/and strength/affection close cousin of sentiment not enough when no
vessels span the seas/bridge the islands/taking you there/I wrote that for
minimum daily wage and banana cue plus a bottle of Coke/north of Eden/hid from
spouses psychotic/city-bred kinetic/cynic of smirking spirits having flown the
coop/we can’t go home again and don’t insist/because horses’ hooves in the
thousands drum roll a single note in feel rent crying for release/the hounds
howl equine in stride/proud in stares and whispers
