Description

The horse is staring out to sea

from a sloping field not far

out of Aberdeen. I watch it from

the train to Dundee

It is stationary, staring for

the minute I have it in view,

It is a small brown horse,

possibly even a pony.

The sea is calm.The horse

looks like an old fisherman,

possibly even an old fish.

It’s difficult to imagine it ever

moving. It’s difficult to know

what it is thinking.

It is a difficult horse.
