THE HOLLOWING REFLEX

The poetic essay
are presented here to imprint riders' minds
with the awareness of the hollowing reflex
Horses' spine is hollow
At the poll
is a hole
Down their neck
through their back
horses' s spine is hollow
Horses hollow
for a yes, for a no
obviously with no aim
Apprehension does hollow them
For curiosity they'll hollow
all the same
The hollowing reflex
at the poll
digs a hole
That's all it takes
for the spine to follow
shaping horses more hollow
