Genji, I dreamt the horse again last night.
But this time I was riding it.
It was so dark, and my eyes stung.
The wind whipped through
the invisible trees. It takes
a body to know the wind
is there, to know a horse
is under you. So it was you,
I guess, that pressed against
my flanks, and it was you
who filled my ears with noise.
When I press back,
you have a shape to fill.
Genji, where will you go
when I am in the ground,
unless a tree grows from my mouth?
Adam Penna
You sure that Adam Penna wrote it, and not Iggy Pop? It is great!
Happy new year
Yes, I’m almost sure that Iggy Pop did not write it. Iggy, in his own way, is a fine lyricist. Poet, however, he is not. Happy New Year!
Quise decir que me ha impresionado mucho este poema, de veras; me ha impactado.
And I often dream the horse, as well. Can´t find the words in english to describe it…
Feliz año nuevo.
