Horses/Nightmares
Sheening black Mares,
their coats of oil
in starless night, run
for the clear pool
of sleeps hallucination.
Becoming breakers of still water
morphing limpid kip.
Capillaries made
in foam pandemonium
stir darkly,
acrylic.
Colours leak
from the horses’ plunging backs
tendrils of purple and red
rivulets,
spread,
bruise-like in the stream.
A wet on wet diffusion of unwelcome Dyes
form together and stain the crystal Dream
And roil into clouds of scyphozoa,
cartesian divers of fear,
hovering,
shapes of black where formerly were clear.
Here ride,
The Heralds of Phobetor!
Injector of Incubi
who casts
melancholy soma
from his black Horse Carriage
and harnessed nightmare harrase
I have previously posted this poem but have continued to work on it and this is pretty much it at this point.
