Breath
- for Emily
I’ve seen you take
a horse’s muzzle close
gently between your
fine fingers and hands
you pull yourself
into intimate space
your mouth slightly open
your breath singing softly
into the other’s
nostrils flaring
ears signaling attention
his breath mingles with yours

Delicate and understanding.
This loving affection is a world away from the feeling I got from the Triple Crown this year! A friend is not a commodity. Thanks for this wonderful poem. God bless.
