...and a heart of a woman, sometimes
as a deserter from the spikes,
if, as a rider steals kilometers
as a foal was born to the flange
survives of ghosts and dreams
like fisherman's novel routines
can be a paragon of external absurdities
a compendium of intimate meekness.
Like a vacuum on shoes
to roll by night without stars
a mirror abandoned by the light
portrays nothing of a complaint
not rounded at each corner of closed gates.
When it laughs at itself
may end up making a mockery of its own laughter.

quite dark but very good

Very creative... and it fits the "abstract" request
perhaps a bit too much for us mundane readers... but the feel and spirit are wonderfully complex and thoroughly enjoyable. Nicely done.
