SELF-PORTRAIT AS A HORSE Poem by Rutger Kopland

SELF-PORTRAIT AS A HORSE



When I was still a horse in a meadow

I must have lived in his body
have seen in his eyes what he saw

that life would never begin nor
would ever end, nor be repeated

I must have left his body and my memories
must have remained behind in him

you are standing by the fence round a meadow
on the other side a horse is standing

look it in the eyes - it will look in yours
