Snarl for me
Oh wonderful, warm furred beast
Bare your horsy teeth
and drool.
You are not camouflaged
amid the arid land;
You’re confident
arrogant:
kick out your many knees!
You know who’s boss.
Red, orange, brown tasselled glory
Matted but patted
Tipped and whipped;
ready to race
or a more leisurely pace.
Snarl for me
Oh wonderful, warm furred beast
Make the hot sand fly!
