riding away

you dream about her horse.
you are riding it
despite having no riding
skills whatsoever.
she's surprised when she
sees you coming up the path.
her hair is pulled down
and flows around
her shoulders, black
and shiny in the sunlight.
her face is smooth
and young, her eyes clear.
you offer her a kiss as
you dismount and hand
her the reins, to which she
replies no, then slides
onto the horse, and rides
slowly away. it's a bittersweet
dream, one you'll think about
all day.
