Raga's Song

Above me stands the driver,
heels on the curve of my tawny rump.
I don’t mind – he’s blinded
with the weight on his mind.

He carries driftwood
connected finely to the reins.
My reign ends – his begins.

We see hear speak
the world’s weight
in pancakes and champagne.

Raga sings beautifully, pancakes and champagne, is that an Irish favourite?
yes, Seamus is always coming up with grand ideas. Who knows where it will lead. I vote we visit a member of the pride and stay a week, if we're not turfed out sooner.

I love the line:

My reign ends
as his begins:

Great work B

I love the word play on 'reign' too. Thanks for visiting my blog.
