Time Like a Fallen Horse Poem by BEI Ling

Time Like a Fallen Horse



When the fallen horse of time
Bursts open, one instant a lifetime
A giant horse's head
Wind…collaring its throat

All faces are going through apocalypse
Pull together, a kiss of steel
Last cleansing in a dry night
Riddle, penetrate the whole body
