to be with a horse is to ride the sky

kissing separation and constriction goodbye

to be with a horse is to leap into an ocean

as vast and embracing as the radiance of sun

to be with a horse is to feel sheltered

healing each other without a single word

to be with a horse is feeling the wind

beneath broken wings, now, on the mend

to be with a horse is to journey into core

arriving home to the heart of the shore
