that patch of empty [Explored]

I put my face against

the horse's shoulder Boss

I breathed onto the frost

so white upon his coat

I saw the patch I left

a darker spot as dark

as darkness gets I let

the horse cut through the field

the spot was looking out

an empty eye unblinking

unblinking Boss which one

of us was that supposed

to be O was it you

so steady Boss or was

that patch of empty me
