Horse Poems - 42

The favorite poem for 2002,
Forty-two Poems for Nico Wind,
is "Wild Horse," by Jewel.
 
Actually, my favorite poem for 2002 would have to be James Wright's "In Memory of the Horse David, Who Ate One of My Poems," but you'll have to look that one up yourselves; it's too difficult to add here.  So I'll go for Jewel's "Wild Horse,"  which I was very surprised to love as much as I do.
 
Wild Horse
 
I'd like to call you my wild horse
and feed your silver sage
 
I'd like to paint my poems
with desert tongued clay
across
your back
and ride you savagely
as the sweet southern wind
through a green and wild Kentucky
 
I'd like to make you my secret sun
blazing dark and red in the orchards
and I would steal away
to watch the way
your silver belly bends
and bows beneath me
 
I'd make you my wings
in the foothills of Montana
my liver in the oceans of the world
 
I'd make you my many calico children
and scatter you
across
the green memories of home
 
I'd be your hungry Valley
and sow your golden fields of wheat
in my womb
