“Riderless Horses” by Robert Bly 🇺🇸 (23 Dec 192621 Nov 2021)
An owl on the dark waters
And so many torches smoking
By mossy stone
And horses that are seen riderless on moonlit nights
A candle that flutters as a black hand
Reaches out
All of these mean
A man with coins on his eyes
The vast waters
The cry of seagulls
