Passing White River on my way to Anchorage, Alaska, I spotted this herd of wild horses.
WILD HORSES OF WHITE RIVER
August 26, 1990


Wild horses; sturdy, strong
against White River wind
carve a stand as mist and gale
lace ready ears; thick, pinned.

Wild horses; sturdy, strong
lift hirsute flanks well-trimmed
in a savage Yukon country,
then toss sage heads unchained.

Wild horses, sturdy, strong,
live ever-onward; free.
May your lives be blessed and certain
as well your sanctioned lea.
