When I Was Dead

When I Was Dead

 

When I was dead

I could still see

A herd of wild

White horses

 

Their foaming

Salty mouths

Their manes and tails

Were all about me

 

And only when

I struggled not

Against the waves

Exhausted

 

Did they concede

A hoard of them and

Collectively escort me

Face down unto the harbour
