Bits
john clare
lately I've been thinking
of horses bits
and words that slip
and of reigns
and of telling the
horse to go and to
whoa!
and how to the barn
the horse yearns
despite the pulling
upon the reins
and no matter what
you do
he is barn determined
so goes the tongue
as teeth gnaw and grind
upon the bit
trying to spit it out
to go our own way
in search of barn hay.
