Out in the pasture
we gallop
the wide grassy undulating bowl—
me & the stallion
broken to be
a saddle horse.
Mercurial.
This softening of men
so much more difficult—
an innate need to remain hard.
We ride them, too,
something they crave
yet find unbearable:
Our soft eyes staring up.
Extracting promises,
lots of promises.
