173Charles Daughaday Came the Horsesby Charles DaughadayGliding down the road so soothingly, humming along, As the rolling land flashes by and the road ahead Ribbons on into a pointed distance, the viewer and its object, the tinted glass in between. Then, suddenly, a hill falls over into a deep, long glen Where fifteen or so horses of all makes and colorsAre galloping, cavorting and skimming over the green, A couple kicking their heels as the huge lead roan, Nostrils flaring, head held high, and mane flying, Striding, oh striding! More beautiful and graceful Than life itself.A sudden rigor of needle points invades the torso, Accompanied by a burning watering of the eyes. Fighting tears away, the head turns, gazing wistfully At the disappearing scene, movement gone, lines In motion dissolving, part of the heart torn out, Bleeding an all too brief memory, sitting, shaking. Spent as after lengthy love-making and earth-shaking Orgasm.Whence came such a riot and gamut of emotion? What was the speed, beauty, form in movement and Power of those creature to this pale existence?
