CHOIR OF HORSES

the radiator is singing

when the waters pumping

this blue wintertime

the horses in the water pipes

stilled their hooves for now

&

have formed an equine choir

that is entirely welcome

PICASA MADRIGALS, REAL DAY & COG SCREAM

7 AM

in a blue-green haze
mahogany horses dip and run
on
buckle-legs
and
white-beige blossom drift-blows sideways
on
the
polite-cough breeze

but this morning
is
not
a
morning - its a romantics watercolour
in
vaseline
soft-focus
healthy and impossible - innocence from denial brushes

after
a
night
of 
laminated-gloss Bosch

hieronymus bosch, detail of hell

THE COLOUR OF HORSES

clint eastwood
johhny cash
the bible

say

Hell will follow a pale horse

the horses in this town -
this concrete estuary blip
of
sold-off dirty farmland
nail bars
and
shut cafes

are
dark stain colour
like
a
dead
mouse

and
all
that
follows
them
is their own flyswish tail of cobwebs and bumnuggets
or
puffa 
coat 
gypsy's
in a bouncing wooden buggy
