The Horse
Why does the brown mare stand
just so,
her head over the wire fence
but gazing at nothing?
Her tail flicks, ears prick.
Beyond the wire
a group of laughing children
run past, ignoring the horse.
Wet eyes momentarily clear
then cloud over again.
Why does the brown mare
stand just so
gazing at nothing?
