When giants hide their heads beneath the sand,
the body lies unshielded from the Sun.

An elephant.

Was in a circus, there was born.
Chained day and night by one foot.

The unknown one and his men
He needed the best to fight for him

Elegant in burnt orange afterglow, 
sparkling starlight opens the show.
Neighbors and strangers appear all aroun’, 
porch lights and car lights enlighten the town.

They arrive afoot and atop handlebars.

Lashed to oak, his chestnut mare in dream just out of sight
