I curse the day I learned your name,
became part of your needful game.
My hate burns fierce, aflame today;
disgust, the clinker, rolls away.

A sweetness hangs in rainy air;
horizon whispers you are there,
remembering the cherished sight
of soft-lit treasures, plump and ripe.

I rode that team: chestnut and grey,
through evening valleys far astray.
