The Mighty Horse
by Franco Bertucci
It's questionable whether
God made elephants to be ridden,
or camels, or sheep, or cows-
though, with each it has been done.
But horses- wonderful horses-
were made to be the steeds of man,
and I don't blame the Aztecs for thinking
that the Spaniards and their mounts were one.Poems and other embarassing things. 2011 Franco Bertucci
