Phantom Stallion

Hooves thundering dawn’s firmament
     In onerous striding rhythm

Incandescent specters astride
     A steady flow of charge and fall

Nostrils burning in fiery sweat
     Oily sleek acidic breaths

Bare and muscular iron flesh
     As one astride they canter

Dashed upon by the morning waves
     Tepid eyed comprehension 

Radiance growing with every gallop
     Night’s inhibition abandoned 

Strides arching in brazen speed
     Merging within the twilight

Waves erasing cold wet sands 
     Of her fulfillment

Behind her the harvest moon rides
     Upon the feral stallion

Disappearing with the morning light…
