Equus

Thunder surround us, fly hurricane by
Maelstrom of dust shadows winging alive
Pegasus? call me, oh what flight was here?
Anything, wondering, flashing eyes rear
Flint paws of timpani, egregious beat
Tumbling beneath thee, all graciously fleet
Heaves and exhultion, brawn lighter than foam
Tendonous snaps, springs sport eiderdown roan
Flaring so sparkly, thy screeches of fire
Dare one; despair of irascible ire
Expansion, extension in veritous race
Effervescence a-pounding, a Seir of silk lace
Joyfully terrible, freshest of least
Thou laughing, intangible, glorious Beast!
