Head shaking
side to side,
side to side,
catching the breeze
in his mane,
in his mane,
bowing forward,
tossing back
tossing back
the watching world.
Sidling away
into a wild wind
into a wild wind
riderless, herdless,
wordless.
wordless.
A stallion forms
as nostrils flare,
as nostrils flare,
whose foot stomped
the challenge first?
the challenge first?
Skittish
and stubborn,
read his posture,
muscle tone and gaze:
and stubborn,
read his posture,
muscle tone and gaze:
to avoid being
"bucked off".
