dangling her carrots

she dangled
her carrots
in front of me for miles,
for months.
they were right in
front of me,
i could almost
reach them,
taste them.
the bright color
and scent of those
carrots
intoxicated me.
but no matter
how hard
i galloped,
or trotted or jumped
fences,
those carrots
always remained inches
out of reach.
