I wonder
When a mule
walks this trail
with my pack
on his back
does he look
at the ground?
Does he pick
where is feet
meet the earth?
Does he notice
the nettles
and stones?
Or does he look
at the sky
and the trees
and the mountains?
Does he wish for home
like I do?

Oh, wow.
What an empathetic and descriptive poem.
Lovely. Nicely detailed writing. Also admire your short, tight lines. Elegant.
