Her movement weeps. Sophia,
breathes on me and stares at herself
through my eyes. There are stories
in her seye, time inside her eyes.
Air from her lungs quiets-- on my
eyelashes. Thoughts whisper in
pauses. Sophia turns 180 degrees
her chin raises then falls. Her companion,
still alive, will not breathe with her again.
The one she grew from a girl to a woman
with, her soothing spasm and hero.
She sleeps outside, reaching for more pain
in the coldest Florida hours, alone. With
mourning hope she looks for the one that gave
her all her love, as lake water becomes river.
We share a carrot. For half a moment we forget.
I talk to her in a language the moment created.
I wonder how deep this horse feels and if she
can - understand words and compassionate silence.
It is by existing with our spirit and in the music of breath
that we understand when the beauty of before pours - away.
This one is almost ready for the workshop, no?
I think you've got a gem in here.
