Fever Poem by Derek ThomasRymer

Fever



I dreampt of a red pavilion
on a straw-yellow field
blurring in the holy light
of the sun's timeless beating.

Bare toes curling to the
bite of hollow stubble
I heard the thin blue wind
squeal fear off a jet's wing

and muttering cow-bells
Un-English as contrition.
Spilt blood soured to a stink
and power bellowed slick as death.

No horseman came.
