A Brown and An Ash Horse
I am both a brown and an ash horse
As ash I limp a little and tilt too
In the blue field
As brown I keep words in your jar
Till they are butterfly to disappear
In the multicolored air
I wanted them for my hair
Time did not care
I want to put my white rings
In your embroidered oval box
Awesome nothings that are everything
Come out as rhododendrons
As we draw the crayons
Some of them in the wings of a heron
Gold and orange splashing lyrics
Linger please
A little
As the lamplight chats with the keen leaves
Of the money plant beside my bed
I pant for words of poetry
Fireflies laugh with green glee
Last night some stars fell there
I look for them now near my pillow
The ash laughs
Red and green up and down
In the cardiograph
Billows are all gone
While putting on the gown
Eyes reach at the mirror
The brown wears a crown
