Macke's 'Hussars on sortie/ Husars al galope', 1913
premonition
of an ending world
at a
gallop
hussars,
horses
come apart
herbiage
and
distance
swords,
pikes
lines
the wheel
of colour
sheers off
limbs
wheat, is
it, wrecked
pasture
laid waste
blood is
just one hue
scratch
under the machine
there is a
flare
reins to
the fore
these
riders have no face
