Tartanilla by Ralph Semino Galan
I miss the sound of hoof steps
Pattering on the pavement like rain.
How I long for the sweet scent
Of summer rain between late dusk
And early evening, like croaking
Of the frogs, evoking memories lost
In the stars. Perhaps the heroes too
Have flown to the skies as comets
Acquiring pegasic wings no carriage
Can resist, no memory can recall.
What is the
central idea of
the poem?
