THE SURF HORSE

Listen to
The dash-and-go,
The hoof-to-cliffcave
Crash-and-roll
Of that green, reeling,
Bashful Foal.

She crest-kicks
And shivers. Waves
Wash down Her spine.
She snorts and shakes
Her mane.
Then, turning toward the sun-on-rim,
She breaks from land again,
Afraid of touching bottom,
Spooked my skidding sand.

Listen to
The dash-and-go,
The hoof-to-cliffcave
Crash-and-roll
Of that foam-vacant,
Bashful Foal.
