the horses are docile         look them in the eyes         talk them out of it
 
back       back       hand on the bridle           beautiful horses back up
 
i never can have it               on the cliff where they were
nothing moves
 
stranded         stranded
 
oh restore them please
i didn't mean to kill them         it was                 i did mean to kill them
the sight of them kissing the way they do
 
 
 
as roses in the room of a drinker
make changes in that place's lace
red making ripples that touch some thing in lack of red
here i am on the eve of new chemistry
as always
a sheet of paper whacking in the hall
 
ask energy         dear energy             restore the horses please
i didn't mean to kill them         it was                 i did mean to kill them
the sight of them kissing the way they do
