Moto Guzzi Outside the Tate

Moto Guzzi outside the Tate
Oh glistening awesome motor stallion
your dovetailed bars, the windscreen’s sheen
you are indeed a work of art
each time I mount your leather saddle
your growling maelstrom  comes to meet
your parody of love and travel
lest not to trust the judge’s gavel
thus speed the seed the heavens open
red as lust and sunshine clear
shine the night the organ’s treble
ring the changes speedy devil 
stills God’s palate, rest the roar

Fabulous imagery - love the description of it being a stallion - living on the isle of man I see many of these 'wild horses' on the open roads. Many congrats on your win. Hugs jan xx
