News weak

(equestrian digestion)

by T.P. Wilkinson / December 16th, 2018

a view pervades
the room evades
its responsibility
light
in each possibility
right
with those agree who
might
could none who see
in all the delicate
panorama
inked in print
the sight
gasping
its eyes too shaded
too through waters waded
as if a horse’s
gaited tread
left news behind
its tail instead.
