TRAVEL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Chariots of brass
Last Line: Boyce house
Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips


Chariots of brass,
Kings holding the crimson reins,
Black horses with white foam flying,
Fiery nostrils and drumming hoofs.

Gondolas of ducas,
Gliding along the liquid, moon-drenched streets of Venice;
Proud with purple and gold silks;
A gondolier with slow sweeps keeping time to a sadly-beautiful song.

Automobiles of workers,
In apple-green and dawn-pink,
With silver trappings;
A twist of a dial and music is plucked from the air;
A press of the foot and the strength of a hundred horses responds;
Hills and boulders, trees and towns wing past in a grand procession.
