My new packet of cowboys and Indians
In their own little bag-a dime store find
Smelling of fresh "new"
My cowboys and Indians
Mine! Just out of toddlerhood
and in the world of Mine!
I set them up on the floor of the front room
and I weep
One horse is lying on its side, not upright-
legs not in a proud frozen trot like it should
but curled up
this shouldn't be...why? Why?
My mother tells me the obviously very dead horse is just sleeping
I don't buy it.
One day the dead horse disappears-quietly.
