We Want Your Writing.

because horse is the closest i can get to it

          after Jack Gilbert

the horse in my mind knows the moon
well enough to not need to speak to it

when i try to talk to horses i watch their feet
aware of their weight i try to feel my own

a horse knows when you don’t know
where your own two feet are

picture both of us running
so fast my mind could quiet
