The Tower of Blue Horses Painting by Franz Marc
a mane shake might shift perspective
create an illusion of ~
precarious
balance
as flickers of the same construct
momentarily separate
into entities
of their own
it's possible to feel
everything at once
the elasticity of self
never breaking
but the held tongue
the averted eye
~ strained
muscles tighten
create perceived
shoulder weight
tendons feel the threat
of un-progressive
overload...
until everything
screams for release
to burst free
from standing
disregarding risk of injury
and return to square one
the fear of enforced rest
this horse needs to be broken
~ give it time ~
meanwhile ~ eyes might give away resentment
at the intent to make
every part of them
fit into a
straight-sided
fenced
enclosure
colour and distraction allocated
on a permission system
built on the
preconceived idea
of knowing best
how other species
should spend their lives
until they buck with explosive energy
that no shade of blue warned you about
