My little horse must think it queer
– Robert Frost, ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’
My little pony
skinny and bony
One of those
A horse’s hoof
High-climes sundew
pink trigger plant
snowflake daisy
He loves me
he loves me not
Pining alpine pony
word gets passed around
Pantomime horseplay
Bareback deriders
Grab-arse show ponies
trade sermons on the mount
Wet detonation
blooms from behind
white-hot head-kick
across a trampled fen
Daisy Dead Petals
They shoot brumbies
don’t they
