Some girls dream of stallions
Gleaming black as polished night
Screaming banshee songs of heat and life
To brood-mates unawakened
Some girls dream of dancing mares
Glittering snow on fire, shining white.
Lowly uttering soft promises
Of beautiful protection in her moonlit shadow.
Still others dream in color
Spots and dots, grulla and dun
Palomino pretties dressed in golden finery
Fire and ice, sun and shade
All extremes and power as they piaffe and passage
Turning, burning, wild with thunder and the pounding drums of earth
Hurricanes in bottles, released before a judge.
