Horses

 & nbsp;Steppe and sky. Wind whispers.
 & nbsp;don seems to be asleep.
 & nbsp;I Hear neighing. I hear footsteps.
 & nbsp;Horses herd flies.
 
 & nbsp;horses Gallop, horses race,
 & nbsp;Trampling herbs and flowers.
   What drives them so madly?
 & nbsp;Thirst, will, fear, dreams?..
 
 & nbsp;Manes long rinse
 & nbsp;Banners in the wind.
 & nbsp;the Echo echoes. Grasses grumble.
   I'm looking at them from the hill.
 
 & nbsp;Their eyes are the darkness of a summer night,
 & nbsp;Sky southern agate,
 & nbsp;Like a virgin's young eyes,
 & nbsp;so scared glisten.
 
 & nbsp;the Backs are sweaty and glossy.
 & nbsp;the Sun is hot and scorching.
 & nbsp;Horses gallop, horses race.
 & nbsp;dust Curls from under the hooves.
