lyrics

As a boy he’d had a wooden horse, stolen by his brother and dropped in the paddock at the end of the garden and he’d start awake fifty years later thinking of this horse, rotting deep in the mud. His brother was long dead and he’d left everything to his estranged wife who never cared for either of them. She’d got the house and the garden and the field with the horse. He would dream about creeping in and digging it up, taking the toy from the ground and slipping her, sleeping, into its place. And he found the dreams got worse - daydreams now, patterns…patterns ruptured by the wakings until one night when he snuck out to the paddock and scrabbled in the dirt with his hands, feverishly clawing and raking the soil and he starts to cry, more out of tiredness than anything, but lights go on in the house and he’s too involved to notice the woman walk down, the torch bobbing in her hand.Or the shouting. But when she lays a hand on his shoulder he turns and then she is beneath him, wriggling in the ground, hands around her throat and he heaps earth into her mouth. She thrashes and the torchlight slices the air and he turns his face away. But then the shouting drains back: muffled and weakened. And she slows. And stops. He looks down. Her jaw thrust up through the topsoil and the beam of the fallen torch catches a glimpse of something beside, hidden for fifty years - the mouth of the little wooden horse lifted from the fresh grave
