horses

This morning, very early an Ozark landscape transformed by a snow storm:

 

Far out in the field

almost to the forest

two horses stand quietly

as snow stops falling

as dawn comes on

the silence so deep

and cold, nothing

about them moving,

no sounds unless one

were nearer to hear

their soft exhalations,

the scene a still life

frozen in this moment

as though painted

by God himself.

 

--Miguel de O
