This My Recollection

This is my Recollection A salutation to mules, donkeys and horses. They have disappeared from city life but without them, no city could be built.

There is a hole in the ground, a dot beside an oak where the mare of many foals stood. I miss the sturdy beauty of donkeys and mules. The aroma of their work is gone, and we are poorer of the vision, we shall not see again
