Structure

Here it is
A headless horseman
And a horse without a head
Rushing endlessly toward the horizon  

The blue noose of the sky squeeze our necks
Necks without heads
The sun is stuck in our throats
And we cough up light  

But we dance on our hands
Which sink into the depths of the mirror
And we wave for goodbye  

Nodding with our heads
