Cut into the mountain,
prehistoric white chalk,
Epona's horses march across time
their bodies flexing under the eternal sun
I wish I could carve those sleek animals
into my skin
If I did, would they ripple up?
Thick white ribbons of scar tissue
Standing white and pale
Their alabaster bodies curving
As if capturing the moment of swiftness
before it dissipates
Artists so cunning with stone
A testament to ancient times
Sending messages to Elysium
I wish I could craft chalk like you
I would put unicorns on the hillsides
So everyone saw their dancing forms
But would they sink into the sod
Their horns beneath the dirt
They would wonder at them
But I yearn to take the unicorn from its grove
And let its horn do some work
Let it conn our oily waters
But I am only here to wish and believe
Perhaps they'll ask more of me
But for now, I will wish for a hill
To carve my unicorns into the earth

Leucippotomy is the art of carving white horses in chalk upland areas, particularly as practised in southern England. The practice is apparently of prehistoric origin; the Uffington White Horse has been dated to between 1400 and 600 BC. from Wikipedia [link]

This was inspired when I read some sciency sounding article or another on a chalk horse they scanned with some fancy science equipment and found it had a horn under the dirt (and some other features that had sunk under the soil and totally been grown over). Anyway, I can't find the page or the paper anymore, so I am sad and can't share that information. However, if you should be reading such things and find it , I would appreciate you letting me know where you found it so I can post some info on it here.
