Post Traumatic Equine Disorder
You should be strolling fields of wildflower
munching heavenly grasses
sun polishing your satin flanks
sipping from a lily pond
running the hills-full throttle
tail twitching happiness
rubbing necks with a favorite mare friend...
Instead, your prodded into a war zone
bricks and rocks smacking ribs
ears rattling from bullhorns-sirens-egos
Shattering glass -shaking tear gas
from your wild brown eyes.
Trying to figure out the scene
these crazy-crazy human beings..
After the carnage-back to the stalls
for all your blood and troubles
your gifted a big bloody New York apple..
Who to trust from now on
horse scars
heal slowly
very slowly
if ever
Post traumatic equine disorder.
