WORDS IN THE WIND
9 June 2011

The echoes
in her heart-holes
sang his name
backwards
. . . well, she thought they did
but perhaps it was
the bareback hoof-songs
of her unicorn
pounding across
the plains,
her hands
entangled
in his glorious mane,
her hair flying,
as she drank the wind,
wild and free.

Thanks, Jerry.  Smiles.  When I die, I will gallop my beloved Flicka bareback across the Heavens, and it will probably sound like gentle rolls of thunder.

This just makes me happy that I have never known the difference between fantacy and reality, Diana.
