“Today, everyone has come to see the horses, who have been here
for four hundred years. In myth, they descend from a herd
brought on a Spanish galleon & swim ashore to their astonishing
freedom after the ship hits a sandbar in a storm & goes down.

& inexplicably forgotten. You are an assemblage. Natural.
Unnatural. So little of you is not from somewhere else.”
