Oh Dark Horse Nebulae Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

oh Dark Horse nebulae

I'll come riding in on my stick horse with its sequined reins

its mysterious felt eye

its bridle of mother of pearl

or wearing the mint green tiny brooch of Pegasus

just like my sister's we'll both visit Gemini

or just stand under the crystal snowfalls again

predicting the nearness of Christmas

the blue blue icicles on the holly bush

the Christmas star finding our house again.
