I am inside stable
looking for my horse
to ride
But! The stable
is empty
Not even a token
of my horse being there-
no half eaten hay.
Kemptone my beloved horse
is gone
all gone.
Other horses
are outside stable door
wearing saddles
offering rides
But their saddles
are so new
and these horses
are not familiar
with me
and their saddles
aren’t worn out
like Kemptone’s saddle.
I want my beloved horse
Kemptone who is not there!
These new horses’ saddles
aren’t worn out
like Kemptone’s.
