    I though immediately of Jim Morrison's "Horse
    Lattitudes".... have not Googled yet to see any connection between that
    and Paul Muldoon.... do you know of any, J.C. -?

    The Doors -- Horse Latitudes, Moonlight Drive

    ***
    When the still sea conspires an armor
    And her sullen and aborted currents
    Breed tiny monsters
    True sailing is dead!

    Awkward instant
    And the first animal is jettisoned
    Legs furiously pumping
    Their stiff green gallop
    And heads bob up
    Poise
    Delicate
    Pause
    Consent
    In mute nostril agony
    Carefully refined
    And sealed over

    yes, reminded me of this song as well...

    Good morning my friend, likewise here.

    Loved The Doors when I was younger, and the music is still
    excellent.

    Shalom Will

    Good evening again my friend.
