Imaginary Horse
I was a beautiful child.
Everyone said so. Fragile,
with white blond hair. The only
child born after years of infertility.
My mother would stand at the kitchen door
and watch me run home through a field
of daisies and black-eyed susans.
Then I'd stamp my feet,
hands on hips, "Mother,
you know, the horse doesn't like it
when you watch."
~Kelley J. White
