Creative Corner: Landscape

April 21, 2019 By SIN Staff

By Paul O’Malley

 

They cut the hooves off of me and

Sent me off on a merciless gallop,

Scurrying across the Burren

Or some tragic pointed land mass.

 

No windows, only curtains.

No chances, only burdens.

 

Indeed, no chance for no young soul

To stand up and be so bold.

Only the cold, cold grip

Of an unwelcome chokehold.
