horse country

she's crying 
as she drives
by the old woman
on the corner
with her life in a bag.
a sign in her hand,
a cane in the other.
her pony is sick.
how will she go on
without him.
she wipes her tears
away with the sleeve
of her riding coat, 
her long black
boots glimmering
in the soft light of 
horse country.
