Panic meridian
noon  
shaves the desert 
to angle  
dune after dune 
the horses 
are stirring, 
their eyes bald
calderas their bones
realigning,
rankling, rankling 
horses, 
riderless dust 
on the skyline,
sires of 
the grappling sand
no body 
can tame them 
 
Nice sharp poem, Mags. Meditative and primal tough at the same time. Cheers.
