Hippology

David's horse bodkins

( lignum vitae )

the crusader's greyhound

& crossing the Forth

 in the Borders you do not know

for sure which country you are in

Nailed

to the centre of the whirlwind

If I stretch out my hand

the air is a spongy body

a promiscuous faceless being

Leaning over the balcony

                                                     I see

Octavio Paz - The Balcony

Tomatos - Shim

and Harvest lily
