prelude to joanie

at first we three thought

'twas the biblical cord of life

the noticing 'twas connected to his head

how strange

not to believed

i reached out to feel and the pony's eyes opened

the cord got hard

the head looked around

and you know who pushed and gushed

the waters of life

first two hooved feet

then the shine of his fur

but at first to my eyes only

feather feathers wings

the butterflies flew up in such colors

exploding all around us

the rest i did not notice 'til there he stood

all eyes in wonder

who me

who you

look
