....................Like flowing
lava/Hot with sweat
Lithe muscle/Sturdy bone/The
horses course/The hillsides as if by
hell beset/magnificent as the sea/
As powerful as a tide
As if a fire runs in
Aching veins/God tests
Ancient bloodlines in them
And gives them reins/But
All in all their hearts ring
A leather bell on ours
A Vulcan strength we see/
And recognize fully in you
And me/splendid equine
Curves as the tails arch/and
Manes stream/on arid dunes....
Arabian.

Thought I would try concrete poetry again. I had to put the periods in so the first line would be positioned correctly. I've missed concrete.... and I've missed YOU.
