Hay, grain, carob and olives.
Cypriot Wagoner
Long gone.

Living engine, now dead.
Journeying here
Pulling there.
Carter whistling
Sometime singing.
Folk songs of old
Clip, clop beat the hooves.
Rattling chains
Rubbing hames.

Of humanity
And experience.
Arriving from a fountain
Mysterious and pure.
Symbiotic composition
Without conscious thought.
Honeyed words
But not too sweet.
Syrup disrupts reading
Lost in the goo.
Write no...
