found poem in progress | red horse


A cloud
of exhaust rises, cream colored, as does the chafing
silk of radio static. I like its quiet
sheen and the ditty about a man in love
with a red horse that punctures
that sheen.

Who is the man riding on the red horse among
the myrtle trees? It is Christ. The myrtle trees are
the people of Israel, and at this time they were really
in the bottom, for they were
in captivity.
Babylon is never on top,
but always
in the bottom.

He sent the Sickness out upon the hills,
The Red Horse Sickness with the iron hooves,
To turn the Valley to Taman again.

And the Red Horse snuffed thrice into the wind,
The naked wind that had no fear of him;
And the Red Horse stamped thrice upon the snow,
The naked snow that had no fear of him;
And the Red Horse went out across the rocks,
The ringing rocks that had no fear of him;
And downward, where the lean birch meets the snow,
And downward, where the gray pine meets the birch,
And downward, where the dwarf oak meets the pine,
Till at his feet our cup-like pastures lay.

Love That Red

I fell in love with Red Horse, the flavour for me is outstanding.
and I just recently tried Hurricane, and it is very similar.
Found another one that is a keeper for me.
Enjoy and drink responsibly.

crystal clear and golden hued with a stray bubble passing upward...
smelling its corn and rubber from an arm's length,
I am not drawn any quicker to a sip by its aroma...
slight wood and fruity esters suggest a bit of character...
the first sip: dry, oily at the tongue, and gone like a red horse would go...
not impactful, and not the annoyance expected, but its mouthfeel is ghostly...
a bit of metallic hose water, to be honest...
corn, apple, slight bubblegum, vegetable, honey, dough, and cheese breath in and out with each sip...
San Miguel, you continue to produce mouth rinsers in many strengths and shapes...
at least this ABV is not kicking me like a red horse would

Redhorse. A curious Native American known to ask
incessant questions such as "Is she perfect?"
and "Are they in love?" Other common utterances include
"pee," "nig-nog" and "right??"

If you love Horses, reading about heros, competition and spirit, you will love The Big Red Horse,
The story of Secretariat who loved his groom,
who loved him back.

The next horse seen to come out of the book was
"red." As truth
should lead us to goodness, as on the
"white horse," the understanding of truth,
we should
progress to a state of goodness, the "red horse"
should denote that state.
