POSEIDON'S LITTLEST HORSE

THE OLD FARRIER BLESSING

                ~for Ric Scow Williams


bent nails fathering Christmas
night words, breach and reach

their sky
remade where each

forms a winter pearl
in-formed by lack
in late November meter

angels nail
a foot of winter
air to herds on high

breach
breach
  reach

―brr

lack in love(d) remains
pomegranate seed

unit & measure
inform foot care

or night language
sol-making

& in care, something generous
taken inward, reworks
