Rebel

Written by Sam Rawlings on Friday the 22nd of January 2010

A yellow puddle
adrift the persistence,
lock of hair, of refuge
accorded the blinking sky.
My light of air.

Town of teeth and darkness, another haunted morning,
echoes of a thousand feet, black eyes and perfect manes,
the sound of our pause, the sound of change.
My weight a damn of silence against the roar of space.
She stands
with balanced lips, our seesaw aches.

My ashen canvas curled beneath her
as if a feather fallen, line of chalk,
a single flame drawn from the pale of dawn

she hesitates.

'Rebel' can be found within Sam
