		9	I report, my captain,
		10	a dream to me revealed,
		11	it was war and I lay there
		12	shot, on the battlefield;
		13	and right there next to me lay, fallen, by my side,
		14	your horse, our deaths were set to coincide,
		15	so God had willed.
15		16
		17	It was approaching morn, the moon was red,
		18	your horse his head did pound,
		19	and oddly enough, like I,
		20	he had a belly wound,
		21	and in his eyes I felt a chilling grief,
		22	someone bewildered, asking for relief,
		23	like wringing hands, I found.
		24
		25	The meadows round and clover redolent
		26	and blooming cress –
		27	and he… a horse… what had he done?
		28	his guts a mess,
		29	someone had sat on him, and sits no more
		30	and eyes so plead to know, to know implore
		31	and thirst, without redress…
		32
		33	Oh, his dry throat… If only he could neigh…
		34	any idea why, why this?:
		35	my golden sun, did he not love you nigh –
		36	why forsake him… like this?
		37	why will that horseshoe never ring again,
		38	why are legs weighed with lead, the sky bloodstained –
		39	ho, spin, world, spin, amiss…
16		40
17	I report, my captain,	41	I report, my captain,
18		42	it was a dream of dread,
19	a dream to me revealed,	43	that beast’s eyes, they cried out
20		44	bulging out of its head,
21	it was war and I lay there	45	they shouted at me, could I please explain,
22		46	why were we lying there, gut-torn, in pain –
23	shot, on the battlefield;	47	what was I to have said…?
