Horse
a horse stranded on the path-
no one minds his broken back
or notices the flog scars on his hind,
not the foaming of his mouth, or the bloodshot of his eyes,
not his dust caked mane or the mites in his ears,
not his fading coat or his starving pains,
they only see his saddle
and only love his reigns.

Love this! Horses are such a powerful & pure metaphor.
