HORSES

Horses of earth

Horsed of water

Great horses of grey cloud

A blizzard of horses

Dust

and the ponies of dust

Horses of muscle and blood

Chestnuts Roans Blacks

Palominos

Wild dapple of Appaloosas

Spanish ponies

Cow ponies

Broncs    Mustángs

Arabians    Morgans    Tennessee    Walkers

Trotters

Shetlands

Massive matched Percherons

Horses

and the names of horses

Whirlaway Man O’ War Coaltown

Cannonero

Foolish Pleasure

Horses with tails of smoke

The giddy laughter of horses

Horses of war

their necks clothed in thunder

nostrils wide

The ground beneath them

terrible to look on

Horses of anger

Horses of cruelty

wringing the iron bit in their mouths

The horses of Psyche

Blake’s horses

The horses of instruction

Horses of breath

Dawn horses

And the one horse in the heart

that runs

and runs
