A NIGHT HIPPODROME

web | Black book of the Endangered Species

To Henry Taylor

Sparkling black muscles
and a moon in the eye.
Dark halls and passages
in the brain of the horse.
The flapping of the mane.
You fly.

Yellow and red diamonds
excitedly sit down
and stand up
at the benches of night.

This horse will win! ...

The child wakes up.
The horse and the horseman
pass to the past
where they came from.
