Equus Among Us

Equus Among Us

More than 10X my weight,
they could crush me.
But they too are considered prey.

So we stand together
in the morning in the meadow
unbridled and undressed
aware of each other yet
minding our own selves.

The big sky.
The big field.
All the big horses.
And little me.

Nature becomes us.
