I saw wild horses
Running through the dusk
The air was heavy and had a strange scent
The scent of tobacco
They ran, they ran without bridles and saddles
Through the land of rivers and mountains
God knows what kind of desire led them
Over the horizon
Maybe a universe above the universe
Maybe a ticket to eternity
O, our desire, don't die just yet
We have strength enough
The mares’ smell becomes weaker in one’s nostrils
At the lakeside
Lovemaking is the wild song of the night
Stalks of grass bow their heads
They form an array
The king with his courtiers arrives for an execution
Of brigands
I want to be like a wild horse
To run and run
To not think about returning
To send the horse merchants packing
I’d like that
I saw wild horses
