April 28th Poem - That Day



THAT DAY

I could not know that day would be
the last time tight in the saddle
my legs hugging the horse
my heart jumping with joy
the guide tapping his cowboy hat
I was nowhere near
an accomplished enough rider
for a full gallop and I am glad
because that’s me chanting
over and over and over “Oh
my God Oh my God Oh my…”
in the shade of the mountains
and divine amusement.
