The Patience of Horses

 


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.
