Nocturnal Horses

by Laurel R.

If I had a horse for every time you

Always were, I would be

Stampeded.

Horses running into my house,

To knock over candles.

Spook me when I find a

Fuzz covered caramel of

A pony in my

Kitchen, sniffing the rutabagas.

Circling me like upset buzzards.

The fastest four legged’s

Become my eggplant

Stallion-print wallpaper.

And the old mare

Neighs into my sock drawer!

If I had a horse for every time

I thought of you, well

I would have horses everywhere.
