HORSES

And
they will come running
galloping galloping
gray black blue horses
forgotten horses
horses from all the centuries
will come
to crush everything they see
women men and children
and donkeys and foxes and dogs and cats
Come they will Come
horses and more horses
and nobody will be able to stop them
not atomic bombs
nor gases nor chemicals nor viruses
they will be the strongest horses that ever existed
horses that recall all
the injustices made and to be made
and the man will ask
Why in my time
Why in my house
Why my family and my children
and nobody will be able to answer
the blue horses, the celestial horses
those will be the worst
destroying 200 story buildings
destroying tanks and planes
blowing them apart
and the president will calm
and the specialists will analyze

and the televisions will speak
but nothing will help
more and more horses will come
out of nowhere
horses appearing suddenly
in front of people walking on the streets
and you, in bed, you'll look at me
despaired, waiting for rescue
I will look at you and suddenly
I will become
a red horse.
