Wild Brumbies Run
by Lee Emmett
wild brumbies run
rumbling hooves rush
through trees and brush
manes glow in sun
galloping, racing
majestic horses
on high-country courses
leaders out-pacing
nostrils are flaring
steaming out-breath
defying death
heart-spirit baring
sweat pours off flanks
taut muscles ripple
leaf-shadows' stipple
plunge river-banks
exhaustion depletes
graze, mild and content
all passion spent
placid day greets
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary
Last of the Spanish Mustangs
