Occohannock Road Poem by Robert P Arthur

Occohannock Road



One grows to love the smell of horses
and urine-soaked hay

With the Chesapeake behind it…dung in the stables
Stars in the pasture… leather

and spring rain

Your whole body slips
into the confluence

Of hoof and sail, withers tremble
Easy Clifford plods paths of sojas

and boysenberry

Trail dust settles softly
on the waters of the brain
