Horse Elves

the glass delicacy slender muscled thigh
and animal they revere emits light
and stumbles into the city
its hoofs clip the stone
fingers tug at harp strings
slowly release the vibration
in a ritual of expression
and the crystal horse
absorbs all taking
the towns thoughts
as children sleep

- Nicholas Alexander
