The Horse

 


The horse moves
independently
without reference 
to his load

He has eyes
like a woman and
turns them
about, throws

 back his ears
and is generally
conscious of
the world. Yet

he pulls when
he must and
pulls well, blowing
fog from

his nostrils
like fumes from
the twin
exhausts of a car.

William Carlos Williams
