Good Friday Valentine

You will be handed
A bowl of porridge
Because you are an old horse 
Making it through the winter
Which is the summer of your years
Since it doesn't snow here
And the beach isn't far away
There is a pattern to all this
Like a quilt thrown over
Your back and the bit 
Sinking into your teeth
The last days ridden
Faster than the first
And the porridge sweet
