All the Pretty Horses
I’ve found the pasture with all the pretty horses
in origami red
junk pile silver
the painted desert
wild taffy
the proud one
a soft blanket
and saddle
“giddyup,” i’ve heard them say.
but all’s still and quiet, emotion’s
at the tip of a brush, in broken clay
with paper manes
and folded legs
iron skeletons
an infinite stampede
rows upon rows
corralled on stretched canvases
a serene place to view my face, a stranger
to contemplate,
take for a ride
