Too Much Horse
Too Much Horse
He had that mare for 12 days before she died
inexplicably, one cold morning, the steam still escaping from her engorged and still nostrils
Hoofs not shivering, long eyelashes refusing to shoo the critters that had begun to drink
the sweet fluid from her eyes
shot by a disease, maybe, right through the heart
We should've known, I guess
shiny flanks and an impressive trot, gallop, whinny
tossing her mane and pawing at the ground;
Too much horse for this earth.
