ALCHEMY

From larva lakes, ash and sulphur pits,

A seer swirls his alchemy spell.

On a dust choked veldt, from a globe of gold,

Rippled and rumbled, the first amber horses.

A swell of champagne glittering gales,

These the seer called Palominos.

The moons elixir stunned the mountain airwaves,

A silver spotted squadron, shimmered on the Auroras.

Star dappled ponies galloped on ribbons.

Fluid grey cave paintings soared, searing sky.

These the seer called Andalusians and Appaloosas.
