Bluehorses

Mortal riders, go faceless by
Cruel breath stinging the fragile sky
Spitting ruin from poison tongue
Left to ferment the year burns on

Crocus hidden, by fallen leaf
Ice and fire the earth deceived
Stretching skyward with fingers numb
Atomising beneath the sun

Shouting to the circle come
Dark against the flaming sun
Hare and fox and man as one
Sing the song that must be sung

Under moonlight, the eagle screams
Suffocation in mountain streams
Exultation of centuries
Slipping under the hollow trees

Shouting to the circle come
Dark against the flaming sun
Hare and fox and man as one
Sing the song that must be sung
