Gertrude Abercrombie, Woman with Tethered Horse and Moon

nothing really holds us in place
  and I'm not sure where we go to
    when we rear up
  then some semblance of order 
    restores, everything settles 
      the constants continue 
  energy just overspilt in the moment
                   we don't know where we are
       the light of the moon is not enough
    more afraid of the words "it's all ok"
          then letting chaos play out
     for if you calm my senses 
                    I look around
       see everything is twisted 
  note no memory of arriving
      no path to leave
  no landscape to be part of
          I see your eyes
    and your efforts to still me
               maybe that's enough tonight
        for now, it's ok
