I know this may not seem like a poem about tragedy and death, but it is. I wrote this for my horse, my Kulali. My Mountain Wind.

Mountain Wind

grasses stir
beneath her passing
snowgums bend
before her
roaming high
over the mountains
cattle shift
seeking sparse
shelter
and the snowflurries
dance in the sky
to meet her
as the mountain wind
returns home

Beneath this mask of sparkling words, I am nothing. So forgive me for raising your hopes.

I don't entirely think I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.

i like this piece a lot, and no it doesnt' seem tragic, but the beauty of it is that you can celebrate Kulali's death by remember her life...i've never had a horse before so i'm not sure how the bonds there work..but this is a beautiful piece...great job!
