Photo Challenge & Poem: Rounded

 

The whorl beneath a forelock, the
velvet comma nostrils, the curve
of a neck, the serpentine of a spine,
the easy s-shaped swing of a tail,

as hooves stride on by. A rolling
nicker rising from within, the arc of a
friendship, the swell of affection, the
initiation of a spiral that begins as a light

caressing curve and ever so gradually
comes around in loops smaller and
ever smaller, binding tighter and deeper
until all loose ends are joined, amen.

(WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo–I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. I take these photos with my phone, on my farm. And then I write a poem. No psych, definitely not high-tech.)
