Horses
are in the same way
so many other things are
and we can only sometimes be
if ever never questioning
their own presence they live
fully bearing reality
and they can break your heart
away from its learned divisions
among colors and classes
between species and species
like the great whales
who also bring their giant
eyes and giant powers
so close kindly allowing
us to fall or not
into their invitation
our finely constructed
selves vanishing slowly
into these at last fathomable
truths reminding even
the most fragmented
how to allow themselves
to be scattered this time
into the indivisible
