red impression
By Omar Azam
Horse-brown red
riding on tile.
She is beauty
but all I see is
a mane
tossing bobbing
wild.
Free white open
A bosom she has no capability of
Thread of an image
is what I soak but
All I see is a
Horse red
riding upon the tile.
Grown not yet
Not so far in the head yet
as she sinks to her knees
Red wild open free.
