Scythian Dawn

(Written through the eyes of a 6th century B. C. era Scythian warrior poet)

wind o wind o wind!

wind o wind whichs cleaves
the steppe in dire stagnation

eternal is the ride,
endless, the expanse

forever is the arrow
and the still air it slices 
has no end to it either

below the ever-great sun-disc
we tremble
like hearts in lover-chests

half human, half stallion
hoof and hand, neigh and bow

into everlasting cold
echoing
aryan ancestry
from back centuries or even millenia

into ever-hinterlands
where slint-eyeds
and blue-eyeds 
and brown-eyeds live
the steppe-nation spreads 
like eagles soar 
or how wolves migrate
