the dead horse

why are you whipping
that horse
i ask the man on the street
as he stands over
the lifeless animal.
because i don't believe
she's dead.
i believe that she will rise
again,
and pull my wagon,
fulfill my needs.
he stares at me, holding
his bloodied whip
and says bitterly,
you of all people 
should know 
what i mean.
