Horseshit

Horseshit

I ride into the sunset

After a torrid day

It could have been embarrassing

Full of losses

Or gainful in nefarious ways

I might have been hurt

Or hurt someone else

On that forgettable day

With thoughts in complete disarray

I trot towards the border

At the western horizon

Where days always end

And nights began

Hoping to open eyes

To the rising sun of promises

With traces of the yesterday

Washed clean by the night

But the universe is not so simple I realise

When I see the horse shit of yesterday

Clinging still

To my ride’s hooves

And soles of my shoes

And I wonder aloud

Why do they sound the same

Sole and soul
