Four Horses (Walk, Trot, Canter, Gallop)

Lavender gazing
its limbs; the draft horse pauses
after hefty hauls.

Gaited mare, tail
flips, trots past stable: not yet,
with such sunlight left.

Cantering around
until it rains, two warmbloods
hungry for summer.

Galloping with clouds
of dust, mustangs unleashing
feral energies.
