The Horse Nebula
rises from flames, forged
from Milky Way core.
Saturn flanks his right,
Jupiter his left --
Gods girded for war.

Lightning bolts whistle
above the red glare
for all to beware.
Dark stallion ascends,
riderless, regal,
through the rarified air.

Not Holding
Not begging, 
for a native dream; 
hiding an ocean in the eyes.

The hills were trembling. 
I am going to cross the river, 
of flames.

I am sitting on the dirt floor, 
counting the cowries.

This was my home, 
that was my book.

Playing the game of death.

What had you written, O god 
with your quivering hand. 
I am still following a riderless horse.

Not the least. Any want ...
Give back my blank page.
