The White Stallion The Runaway
A white horse came to our farm once
Leaping like dawn the backyard fence.
In dreams I heard his shadow fall
Across my bed. A miracle,
I woke beneath his maneīs surprise;
I saw my face within his eyes,
The dew ran down his nose and fell
Upon the bleeding window quince . . . .

But long before I broke the spell
My fatherīs curses sped him on,
Four flushing hooves that bruised the lawn.
And as I stumbled into dawn
I saw him scorn a final hedge,
I heard his pride upon the bridge,
Then through the wakened yard I went
To read the rage the stallion spent.
