The Beginning or the End

A head against the odds of pastels
Strained
The cracks show
on a log crafted into a horse
head birthed to a log
Strenuous
under the weight of unknowing
The cracks
The cracks
The cracks show
like rusty red faults, stark
against the pastels, stuck
to the corroding turquoise, no beginning
no
end
A head against the odds of
a log birthing a horse
Broke
Under a weight of
Cracks, like blood
coursing down mushy
pastels masquerading lines
Ahead
