yours is the hidden couch
next to the angry fountain
beside a fern
and you don’t know apologies
you play and pursue
you have a delicate side that waits by the river
and you have an angry side that drifts in the mountain
you blaze a cold trail
at least once every couple of moons
you decide your fate and then choose otherwise
you have a vulture on one shoulder
deciding your tiny feast
and you have a mustang on your other shoulder
full of hoof steps heard in the night
you claim a long way travelled
but you were here just yesterday
you need to learn how to wink convincingly
and you need to learn how to lie even more unconvincingly
you will breathe
open air
whenever you want
very soon
