Bones rattle with each prancing step
Sightless sockets where eyes were
Stare from the shoulders and hips
Of the bleached white breadth
Of a stallion so haunting
So sinister & taunting
With a rictus grin and a heart of sin
Is it steed or foe?
Could it be tamed…
Or should it be destroyed
By a sword swung in a killing blow
