The details, edited
According to legend, everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring water spring burst forth.
A poem is like Pegasus, which
broke loose a day after
the tamer’s first attempt,
galloped all night,
the distance to freedom
and back, with both wings
broken. I await next morning
its return, like a mother
mourning over a crucified son,
knowing that no one
will feel for us,
myrrh-edit after myrrh-edit.
