I fell asleep atop a great stallion lastnight
I slept long and deep 
Until I slipped out of his saddle.
He lingered there 
as I slept the dawn away
Protecting me -
His hatred growing.
And as I woke
to the stench of his manure
I gazed upon his mighty build
and all at once 
he trampled me
Into the earth
into dust
