The Horse
When I was seven
I wanted to paint one horse I saw on a farm.
I don't know why it appeared funny to me at that time...

The Horseas wildflowers stumble among the weeds
they fall asleep dreaming the whole spring
the pollen evaporates -
the laughs gush into a pail
an odd blinking eye
across the half of the head
from a laughter my throat fills up
with liquid ginger…
