Dream of all the rain that falls
gutters leaking at barn's edge
pony's halters left on nails
gone starved cold
their smell is still here hair hoof prints
I search among hay around corners
hoping I will see my horses
whole brushed happy
tears or rainwater pound
I chastise my father as child he is
I was studying spanish verbs death of a salesman
while gone my poor ponies
starved in the barn
