Zero to Fifty-Five
Behind the barn,
five pairs
of horses and riders
set off
at a brisk canter.
Left behind,
I cued my mare,
and she exploded,
terrified.
A whirlwind of dust
followed us,
as we thundered past
on the mile track.
Once I knew
that we would live,
I loved it.
When can we ride together again?
