The patient pull of horses;
displaying superior strength and stamina.
Working with wagons,
courtly with carriages.
The clip-clop of hooves,
climbing, climbing,
arriving, departing.
Performing their work,
pulling their loads,
proving their patience.
Leaning into the harness,
into the hill,
pulling the weight;
gravity pulling back.
The way it is on
Mackinaw Island.
