A Poem of Thanksgiving, from "Song of the Overcast"

-
That Autumn in Pennsylvania     Little has given me so much joy as to walk quietly into that field of horses    early each Saturday, the smell of earth and animal  sweet and musky, to look for the reddish    freckled one called Strawberry. To approach her  as I would a loved one sleeping. I’d let her    notice me, run my hand along the length  of her neck, speak low and sing-song    of the morning’s innocence. Of her warmth.  I could be tethered to this earth forever, forgetting    what our bodies lose every moment to the open  air. Our exhalations rising in clouds, disappearing    into the fields of the sky. Here is the scent  and warmth of uneven ground. And breath enough    for large and small breathing bodies. Taking  her reins I start walking. Her ponderous hooves lift    and follow. When her head swings down  for a scratch across my wool sweater, I feel    the weight of her. Such large love so late  in the year.   —From  Song of the Overcast , a chapbook of poems by Beverly Voigt
