obsession with horses
whacked kicked thrown
smashed on rock
concussions
tail-bone bruise
shattered wrist
now
the reckoning
sixty years after
most parts hurt
except my heart
soft
and malleable
more now than before
did life’s battering
crack me open?
“did life’s battering
crack me open?” Only in the best way, yielding goodness like a fresh egg!
So true! Especially this particular mare!
