a horse
in heavy heat of day,
in heavy gait
with heavy beats—
right hind leg,
right fore, left hind,
left fore, and so on.
slow, smooth. but she
trots now, seeing
canine-friend,
human-friend to enjoy
a cool rinse, a fresh-
picked black raspberry.
she nudges us both,
cuddles close. three
cats stretch in loft—
lacie’s large brown eyes
take all in. mine, too.
i breathe in
a ton of love.

Delightful!
Sometimes it’s horses, right?
both,
cuddles close. three
cats
the “o” assonance and “c” alliteration put me in that envious place
lovely 🙂
Such a sweet tone. It’s good to see piets reaching back to the natural world. If you want to add drama or complicate the tone, put a storm in there or have a rabid wild animal appear (the other face of the natural world).
Thank you, Tom. For the compliment and the suggestion. I will play around with this! Get out of my place comfort and stretch. Complicate.
