Ben Hur's Horses

I'm curling away
Into the bedclothes
Closing my mind
I'm closing my eyes

The past is looming
Over my future
Grinning its sinister painful smirk

My fingers tremble
As I fight to control
These spirited horses that I drive
The cracking hiss of a whip in the air
Sends them rearing up
On palomino hind legs

The sight of the crash
That awaits me beyond the corner
Sends my sleep
On a long journey far away

Sightless eyes stare
Into the blinding white darkness
Fearing the silence
Cursing the past
