Bleeding Horses

All these bleeding horses
 you can't hear yourself think 
 with the racket of their whinnying 
 last gasp call and answer chants 
 and Helen pet sheath those trojans 
 in your blouse there are no incognitos
 in this herd, unless you're prone
 to necrophiliac urges, move along love
 there's nothing to see here
 and that coach and four is less
 than apocalyptic with its coconut shell 
 hoofbeats, not spellbound neither 
 these beasts are walking cold 
 I think I'll name the deadest Ozymandias 
 he's no stalking horse this colt -
 concealing sure death for snipe or grouse
 behind his shoulder, no there are no birds
 and what's more no hands 
 just a mess of nerve endings congealing 
 but still standing and we're getting ridden 
 good and proper then put up wet 
 by a straw man who hasn't 
 a notion that he's flogging a pulse deficit
 he'll be shocked and awed to feel 
 haunches buckling forelegs kneeling 
 as his MoUnt sprawls sideways on the turf
 what's worse though is how
 all these stable doors are closed with 
 the stupid bolted nags still in them.
