Sunday Morning Ride

side-by-side through swathed stubble
the four legged carry
settler-decendant-farm-girls
(ages 17 and 46)
talking about Lord of the Rings,
writing spaces, hashtag poetry,
and what it is like
with blonde hair
riding Getty in the treaty four parade
this year cantering by invitation
into the arbour at the pow wow grounds

horse hooves and healing
circles within circles
