Poem: Pegasus

 

Pegasus

 

cantering off cliffs

never to trench

instead hillocks of pearl

diademed by noon

 

wings so jubilant,

corsair-free

 

to plunder sculptures

from jousted stupas

 

and bank

in veils of seraglio

forelock speckled

by sylphid dew

then 

on gusts of thunder

to gambol and prance

brash of hoof

to flash and curvet

 

madcap of tempo

until lightning assembles

 

bliss.
