Lucien`s Horses.

That horse you sketched when you were 8 or 9

In a letter to your father

Is an icon of compassion.

A red horse, deftly drawn,

Shown walking through a field of early tulips.

An equine Buddha in a man made landscape

Somewhere in rural England,

A place where only dreams invoke such beauty.

A gentle Buddha,  his quietness soft as mist

Sanctifying a mild mid April morning.

Through candid, Hawk sharp eyes, you watched that horse

Slowly become a reality on the page,

His body red as the flesh of a wounded dove,

Pain twisting raw fear into abject anger.

Your horse however knows only how to love,

He can even forgive the whip of a frenzied rider

Slashing deep his flank.

This reminds me how at school you slept in the stable

To escape the mob rule of the dormitory.

School was a lonely hell where no one listened, 

But later there would be girls to keep you company

Through empty silences of London nights,

You mentioned them in a matter of fact sort of way

When we larked in the pub, over a stout and a sandwich,

But I noticed your voice was gentle when you talked of horses.
