Taking It Slow

Taking It Slow

Two horses traveling along a fence
stopped partway on their journey
one nibbling at dead grass and the other
standing behind it, wondering why they stopped,
so soon

Is this what couples are like when taking it slow,
or are they simply uncertain what way to take
on the journey to their future?
