Little Horse

For JRF


 

His black mane shines with bear grease

tendrils braided tight

tradition of the high step in his stance

the royalty of ancestry in his breath

- echo


 

His hoof slides across my ground,

caresses me as Mother

pebbles freckle my back

I roll in green linen

     - sigh


 

His heart quickens as my breath

excites him to race, to explore

curves of my landscape

legs open to the horizon

beckons, green linen

falls away to crystal light

- breathe


 

The moon steals the sunset

captures his breath he relaxes

into my darkness comforted in

green linen wrapped in my arms

once more.
