"The momentum
The stop the balance at the end of the ride
All the words the flag the only thing that counts The number
It's born under the wing of paper The being stirred
Cries rolls in a ball
And that horse lost in the woods or the corner of the city
Suspended
crossroads The riders in profile pass fast
And the spell is made
Stronger
On the quivering
ground And the blows of the spring
The horse's head at the gate
sign The blue jockey's name in the cuff
And in the gold of the sun
The winner's head desolate The dead head."
