To go out and call for horses

To clap your hands in the summer rain

and call

Hearing them come thundering

from far away

Galloping around the shelter,

up to the stable;

three horses into three stalls,

settling smoothly by habit & custom

Nice to be in your own stall!

Rest & hay & water;

time to oneself

To go out and call for horses

is a privilege

for those who walk in the world and exist;

a simple education in contentment

and practical tasks;

a pride without arrogance
