Elegant Grace Of The Horse

He lies on vastness of the dream-framed world
to ponder strangeness of the face he wears
which everyone else clearly sees but him,
and entertains vain hope to substitute
some more beautiful face that he designs
which reflects strange feelings he aches to hide.

Though love seems more unearthly to the one
who wants to keep their body separate
from seething anguish of synthetic lust
unreal in twisted dance of ecstasies,
he stares in eyes of strangers on the street
who hide wounded souls behind gentle smiles.

With stammered transformation of regret
he longs to dance with delicate tree nymph
who glides on gossamer wings of pure joy
from secretive excitement urging faith
by sharing sacred eggs of honesty
defined by slantwise paradigm of fate.

Insistent kindness of concluding facts,
entwined with fragments of unspoken thoughts,
scatters vibrant words from predicaments
more real than caricatures of great men
that brave innocent boys must choose to wear
when they hunt demons of assertive lust.

Uncoupled dancers of innate concern
throw strict assumptions at aggressive ghosts
to extract self-assurance from the egg
concealing gloomy source of fraught romance
no fool would substitute for social honor
when time must reassign our general role.

Through Augustine force of male normalcy
he leads great army to conquer the world
from stoic pretension of social code
defining how we play our gender role
which angels construct from discarded texts
based on hope-adjacent identity.

Locked in complex dream world of bitter faith,
he trots with elegant grace of the horse
to disconvention state of ardency
through structured process of his fantasy
that links his body to the changeless Earth
as grass softly flattened by human souls.

Diving from stiff cliff in soft swirling sea,
he transforms back to our base primal form
to swim as fish with dragon-writhing fins,
then rises reborn from womb of the world
as graceful Venus with long flowing hair
after breaking free from egg of desire.
