UNTITLED

Fire in their eyes SteedsDark as darkest nightFree and boldNo reins to holdThem backPalpitating panting stridesIn flameElectricity piecing throughMy brainShocks of wavesRed and blue Hooves striking starsOn the attack Across the universe They steal me far away Past Heaven’s Gate And Willingly I go As I see The world below Vertiginously Hgher than highI riseIn a diamond sky Leaving all behind Suffering and scarsAndMemory.

"Fire in their eyes Steeds" No I would have to write the whole thing out yet again as it all has such imagery and intensity of fiery wonders shot so high up into the celestial realms, yet still glimpsing the little world called earth and its hard road surfaces striking stars into the universe. Oh this is full of star-like sayings and expressions and with the horses hooves they strike up 1000 stars from me. You will not need any Christmas decorations when you can imagine so many sparkling elements in your mind. Your Annuccia
