See The Horse Head nebula
With ears pricked and eyes
Stolen from bright stars.
He was born with gasses
coloured by the universe
unseen by childlike eye
reality that is mystery.
Who rode this beast?
Did it pull Helios’ chariot?
Will it continue through
life’s spiral dragging forever behind it
a hearse draped in the dark wings
of night.
A chess game played and replayed
By pedantic and obtuse lesser gods
with always the same result.
