Nov 08th Fall 2021, Poetry Fall 2021, Poetry visit the horses visit the horsesBy Adriana Barkerpear-green, dew-soaked grass stretches in every direction, streaked with tall fences serving to keep the wild spirits inside.young caramel colts prance and whinny, nicker and shove – their dance speaks joy in each hoof-step.touch their velvet noses, lay a soft hand on their silky backs. gaze into their deep elixir eyes.look at the way their manes are like flowing grass, their tails like waterfalls.they speak to each other with their bodies – occasionally the snap of teeth.sometimes, these boyish colts spook and run – wind and thunder over the pasture.watch the way their bodies move and think maybe God shaped them out of a dust-storm.
